He added, “Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???” Under Article II, Section 1, of the U.S. Constitution, only Congress has the authority to decide when to hold a presidential election.

Voters in six states took to the polls on Tuesday, yet the results could take days to finalize as the number of mail-in ballots has ballooned amid the coronavirus pandemic.
