That one is a hot potato, because I see no legal mechanism to delay the election, if one or both candidates are dead, having a coughing fit, in prison, under indictment, withdraw on 1 November, etc. The constitution offers no suggestions that an election can be delayed for any circumstance. The election selects not only the executive, but also the legislature. It happens on 8 November, regardless of what else happens.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Will, do suggest a scenario which you think could result in a delayed election. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Reason I focus on that: plenty of far right talkers are suggesting the current government will attempt to delay this election.
