From the man who suggested injecting Lysol for Covid-19

As part of his scare propaganda about the mess that would result from extensive mail-in voting, Bozo urged the election be put off until we can do it in person in safety.

But the constitution says the time of choosing electors and the day of their voting is up to Congress and election day, when electors are chosen, has been the same since before the Civil War.

The date when the electors meet and vote is also governed by longstanding law.

Congressional leaders of both parties have already poured scorn on the idea of delay.

But what if the elections are held and there is enough mess that, though house and senate seats are decided in time for the new Congress on January 3rd, the presidency and, perforce, the vice presidency are still contested?

Apparently, if no new president and Veep are chosen by January 20 then the person next in the line of presidential succession per the Presidential Succession Act, the Speaker of the House, becomes president on January 21 and stays in office until the elected president and Veep are chosen.

The relevant constitutional text authorizes congress to settle who shall be president in a number of cases which notably do not include that of an absurdly unsettled election, but all the same . . . .

In all probability that will be Nancy Pelosi.

Enough to give a Republican pause, eh?

Trump's tweet on delaying election

Earlier on Thursday, Trump tweeted, 

"With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???"
