This is being done to "preserve democracy", because the Earthquake damage will make it hard for Turks to vote, right?

I would never be so rude as to suggest that any delay would give Erdogan more time to give his opponents a heart attack, because that would just be cynical.

Even though his opponents do not currently "seem" depressed, you never know when they might commit suicide by shooting themselves in the back of the head...twice.
