I've just been told that the Department of Homeland Security is petitioning Congress for the right to postpone the coming election in the event of a terrorist attack.

Can someone please give me some solid information on this?

EDIT: A CNN article is here. Thanks, atdelphi.

EDIT2: There is also a BBC News article here. Thanks, muridae_x.

And if you'd like an outside perspective on the subject:

Now, I'm planning on being in the US for a vacation in October, and it has crossed my mind once or twice that it's only a month before the election.

But still. The implications of what a move like this could mean in the long term give me the shivers.

Thanks, I added that article too.
