You do not suspend elections in America.

Unless, of course, you are the Louisiana governor, Kathleen Blanco, who has issued an executive order to that effect.

I can understand, politically, why she might want to do this.  It's undoubtedly difficult to hold elections after a devastating hurricane, especially when said hurricane exposed your own incompetence along with the incompetence of your political allies.  You might rightly fear a backlash from the voters.  You might even realize that you deserve a backlash from the voters.

But you do NOT suspend the elections indefinitely.

Not in America.
