Elections can not be delayed, nor can the federal government dictate to states how to administer elections (outside violations of the constitution, which are adjudicated by the courts, not executive orders). The constitution outlines the years in which elections for federal office are to take place, federal statute sets the date, and state laws cover the administration of the election. In order to do what is described in this article there would need to be a constitutional amendment(s) allowing changes to the set years for elections to the house and senate, for the house and senate to propose/pass a change of the statute signed off by the president, and then to either have the states all change their laws or have a case make it through courts and receive a judgement before the election that states not requiring voter I.D. costs the constitution. This is simply not possible within the time constraints, if at all. While the fascists certainly want a coup, this is not the route. Their move will be drastically more violent or continue on the slow, but escalating, course it is currently taking.
