Bush Has a Plan for Canceling or Rescheduling Election 2004?

On the one hand, this news item, presented by Atrios, sounds like something one would normally have to plan. But we've seen what Mr. Bush and crew are willing to do, knowing that the American people will - by and large - just go along. Thus, it's really quite frightening:

WASHINGTON -- The government needs to establish guidelines for canceling or rescheduling elections if terrorists strike the United States again, says the chairman of a new federal voting commission.

Such guidelines do not currently exist, said DeForest B. Soaries, head of the voting panel.

Soaries was appointed to the federal Election Assistance Commission last year by President Bush. Soaries said he wrote to National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge in April to raise the concerns.
And who controls whether we get struck? The president and his crew of evil clowns.
