COVID is impacting elections all over the world. I genuinely don’t know what to expect for Nov here in the US. Is anyone more up to speed? Does Trump have the authority to postpone?

No. Theoretically states could, but it doesn’t matter for Trump. His current term ends January 20, 2021, even if no election is held.

If the office is vacant because of no elections, it would flow to the VP (vacant), then to Speaker (vacant, since the house wouldn’t have been elected), then to the new Senate Pro Tem (which would be elected by the 2/3 of Senators not up for election in 2020, of which Dems are a majority).

Does anyone, or any branch of the gov, have that authority?

Things will be better in November and the election will go on, the only thing this will affect are the Democratic primaries which have been rigged since 2016

I hope we at least have good therapies by then, but we could be in the middle of the second wave, if (big if) the coronavirus subsides in the summer.

Voting may be a significant risk.

I don’t think Trump can simply delay the election by executive order, but Congress could probably decide to do it legislatively if the risk was deemed too high. Also keep in mind that every incumbent would benefit from this.

Comparing mail in voting which has been done since the Civil War to an App isn’t really the same about why we shouldn’t expand mail voting 💁‍♂️

No Inauguration Day is the following January. The states and their reps to the electoral college decide who is able to be inaugurated. If nobody is selected, then the position would be held by whoever is next in line in the order of succession, as outlined above by another poster.

He wants to get rid of us postal service to make sure people can’t vote by mail against him.

We should give it to trump to save the dems money and donate it to the suffering.

The Election of 1918 wasn’t delayed due to the Spanish Flu, 2020 won’t be delayed.

Congress would have to change a law. The president has no say.

They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?

Hello everyone I have 29 years as a dental professional in Texas. I started as a dental assistant back in 1993. As my career progressed as a RDA, I moved to the front office and eventually management. I even taught dental assistants and became the Program Director of a DA program. COVID opened up remote work for me, I manage eclaims, claims corrections and billing for two offices. $20 per hour, no bonuses or incentives, I know I am not getting paid enough! Any input would be appreciated.
