into "postponing" the elections if something "big" were to happen. He said it was allowed for in the Constitution.
It didn't even seem to be a big revelation to him.
Holy Crap...that is HUGE NEWS.
It wasn't Chuck Todd, but the other guy that they get Capitol Hill news from on Wash Journal...can't remember his name. He was casually mentioning this and I was freaking! I thought damn...those people at DU were right!
The moderator didn't even follow-up with anything like...wouldn't that be rather drastic?
He did however say that Gary Hart said that would be unnecessary because voting is such a decentralized process. But the point is that he said "after a big event"...so it wouldn't be to keep people "safe" if an attack were to happen, but it would be cancelled or postponed in the name of the general "national security."
