That State election date was not fixed by any law that could not easily be changed, in fact State and Local election days are frequently changed. That election also did not usher in an entirely new Executive Branch, delaying it would not have derailed any essential planning for the continuance of governing. The alternative that Republicans rejected was delaying that State Election so that people would have time to vote by mail. It is voting by mail that Trump is using as his pretext for suggesting illegally postponing the National Election.
