Many things would have to change here.  Security procedures require
months of preparation now.  The voting/tallying period is now approaching
a month between early voting and delivery of mail ballots.  It certainly
won't allow a quick second round.

Locally, all schools are closed on election day and even the day before
this year due to schools being polling places.  It's tough to have an
indeterminate calendar for schools.
