Very low probability, I admit.

IMO, COVID-19 deserves a national emergency designation, and that may endow the executive branch with the powers that concern you, but, to date, no national emergency—neither the Civil War nor WWI nor WWII— has ever stopped an election. I don’t see why it would in 2020.
