I don't agree. When terror attacks occur a great deal of time passes when emotions are extremely high and there is widespread confusion. This can, and has, impacted elections. People should make electoral choices when their minds are clear.

Imagine what would happen if there was a string of bombings of voting locations on election day?

However, any way of addressing this issue should have a very clear structure. No more then a certain amount of delay should be allowed, and only under certain circumstances.
