Redundant, but slightly more official ... U.S. Mulling How to Delay Nov. Vote in Case of Attack

EDIT: And when I say "slightly more official", I mean not at all official, but a slightly stronger link than yesterday's. Or something.

Not necessarily, but how much of a scare and a delay do you think would be necessary to encourage massive vote fraud? Delay a couple of days because of "credible information" about a planned attack somewhere in the U.S. (be as vague as possible to cover all possible areas) and an already jumpy populace goes out to vote and is willing to accept just about anything to get it over with. And a very jumpy police presence will be uninclined to do anything about vote fraud complaints, right?

Any such delay is likely to benefit the Republicans. They don't have to do much, just scare people a bit, and they'll gobble up this country for another four years.

Ok, this is it.

This is treason. This is concrete evidence and planning of Malfeasance. During the CIVIL FUCKING WAR, Lincoln RAN for reelection. Shit, Lincoln ALSO tried to suspend Habeas Corpus, but when the Supreme Court said no, He LISTENED!!!

It is official. George Bush in not a Republican. He is a fascist. He controls what people say and think, suspends rights, steals from the poor to give to the rich...

THIS IS CONCRETE EVIDENCE OF A COUP!

Uh, no... it was a theoretical scenario based on the prospect of a delay in the election. Unless and until such a thing happens, and there is proof that it was planned by the administration, then it is nothing but theory.

Can you look me in the eye and tell me this administration will not do anything in its power to stay in power? They make Nixon look like Lincoln when it comes to dirty tricks!

LOL, well I can't look you in the eye, period. But as far as this administration goes, I know the difference between what I believe is possible and what is proven fact. If there were no difference, we'd all be doing prison time for stuff people thought we were capable of, wouldn't we?

So I say again, my comments theorized a possible scenario which I believe is possible, even likely. They are in no way factual. If they were, you'd better believe I'd be buying Powerball tickets right and left.

The problem comes in that for it to have advanced to the point where it is reported in the news, it is a test balloon to test the reaction and viability.

That's fine. I just don't see it as concrete evidence of anything. YMMV.
