Is Sandy an opportunity for election shenanigans?

I've been suspecting that Obama will try to leverage a situation to cancel or delay the election process through executive order. (What's to stop him since no one is stopping any of the other illegal executive orders that he's issued?)

This big storm is expected to affect 50 million people. These also happen to be mostly blue-state people. So these are some of the possibilities that I predict:

1. Romney wins the election, but no one considers it valid since 50 million people were not able to vote as planned. This shadow will be inescapable for the duration of his presidency.

2. Obama declares the results invalid due to the storm aftermath and schedules an indefinitely future (waiting for the right leverage) re-vote.

3. Obama cancels the election altogether, claiming to reschedule it at a later date, of course, one that will be more favorable to his re-election.

Anyone else considered these possibilities?

Is anything too far a stretch for for the corrupt left?

Update:

@prometheus: you are a first class, highly I pressionable, gullible novice.

How could a warning against voter fraud intimidate anyone unless they were intending to commit it?

You should read something other than the extreme left-wing radical propaganda that you've been consuming. I'm a little embarrassed for you that you admit to buying into it by posting it as a "source."

If people like you (LIVs) really do comprise a majority of the electorate, we really are in terrible shape as a country. We can survive 4 years of Obama, but I don't think we can survive 4 more years of a majority electorate who is dumb enough to vote for him again. Obama has no hope but to go for the moron vote. Public schools have been helping him achieve this. I know this stuff, but it's just sad to encounter it with people like you.

    Lol they don't need Sandy as an excuse they do that anyway....and even though I'm not for Obama...I suspect there is corruption on both sides, unfortunately or entire system is broken. And I disagree, we simply cannot survive 4 more years of Obama...

    1. possible, in that Obama is winning early voting which will be delayed. Romney still has to win Ohio and it is unlikely looking at polls.

    2. and 3. Absurd, the election is Nov. 6th and Obama has said it will take place.

    Black panthers harassing white voters - This was One incident by 2 people in a district that is almost all black and votes heavily Democrat, no one was hurt (yes the Panthers are racist). This case is complicated, I will just add Abigail Thernstrom, a commission ( the commission overseeing this case was 6 Republicans and 2 Democrats) member and a senior fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute, called it "small potatoes" and said "Why waste your breath on this one?"

    Here's a site detailing a lot of voter intimidation by Republicans http://www.pfaw.org/sites/default/files/thelongsha...

    Here's an article about billboards to intimidate voters who might not be informed about voter rights that have been placed only in Ohio communities with largely minority populations that vote heavily for Democrats.

    True the vote, a Tea Party group, sends out HUNDREDS of people to harasses minorities, teens, and the poor to suppress Democratic votes. They make baseless arguments about voters at the polls to slow the voting to frustrate people with long lines and reduce turnout.

    In a lawsuit a judge ruled that they were violating state campaign finance law by providing illegal contributions to the Republican Party in the form of trained poll watchers (harassers).
