It's still to happen on November 3rd, no matter what.

That's incorrect. It can be delayed. Congress can change the date of the election if they want to.

The thing they would have to bear in mind is that presidential terms end every 4 years on 20 January - and this is written in the constitution. So unless the constitution was changed, which is rather improbable, there has to be an election before 20 January come what may.

The other thing they would need to consider is that postal ballots have already been sent out and some people have already returned them.
