What crap. We have always had elections, wars or no wars. There is nothing that allows elections to be cancelled.

We had elections in 1944. We had elections in 1942. We had elections in 1952. We have elections during wartime. We always have had elections during wars.

Screw Trump. He cannot cancel elections. He has zero power to do so. Elections are run by the individual states.

THERE ARE NO NATIONAL ELECTIONS IN THE USA! PERIOD!
