What Elections?

I am scared shitless.
"U.S. officials have discussed the idea of postponing Election Day in the event of a terrorist attack on or about that day..."
Of note:
1. The request is coming from Ridge to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
2. The commission was set up after the disputed 2000 presidential election. (Bush got so much 'assistance' in THAT election he decided to make it official.)
3. The commission is led by Forest Soaries, Jr., appointed by President Bush, a former New Jersey secretary of state and senior pastor of the 7,000-member First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens in Somerset. And, yes, he still serves as senior pastor.
You have to wonder what the goal is when when you start making noise that a terrorist threat COULD change the election. What's the goal and who's the audience?
