Officials discuss how to delay Election Day
Topic: Current Events 10:14 am EDT, Jul 12, 2004

] What has Homeland Security officials worried is that
] terrorists could attempt to disrupt the election in the
] same way that train bombings in Madrid created unrest
] three days before the Spanish general election,
] Roehrkasse said.
]
] Although there is no evidence that the bombings
] influenced the March 11 vote, socialist Jose Luis
] Rodriguez Zapatero unseated Prime Minister Jose Maria
] Aznar, whose center-right government supported the
] U.S.-led war in Iraq.

[ I think it sets a dangerous precedent to make it too easy to shift election day, however, it's also undeniable that certain acts could influence the outcome of the vote.
I guess, at present, i'm leaning towards the opinion that voting is a duty, an act of patriotism even, and that if you have to do it during a time of danger or instability, then you should suck it up and do it. I'm interested in other opinions, certainly... for now, I'm not ready to accept that someone who isn't congress should be able to play this game. -k]
