The US does not have a legal avenue for cancelling elections regardless of circumstances without a constitutional amendment. It cannot happen under any conditions or circumstances.

To do so would basically be an open announcement of dictatorship and - more than we have already - the end of rule of law and a likely civil war.

You are more confident about this than I am. Let's revisit this comment in December.

I truly hope you are proved right by history, but I'm concerned.

December's too soon. Let's revisit it in January, after the new Congress is seated... or not.

I didn't say they wouldn't actually try / do it. Just being clear that the US does not define any legal avenue whatsoever.
