Yep.  This administration is one that does a good portion of it's 
planning behind the scenes and almost always makes it's move only when 
it's fairly certain of success.  Thus, they had to be planning this 
behind closed doors until now.

Except that the plan in question is to delay the _complete_ election if 
there's a terrorist attack.  A state-by-state delay would not serve 
their purpose.  This is the start of an attempt to suspend all 
elections in my opinion.

of us that disagree would either be gone, dead, or threatened into 
silence.
