That's the whole reason that an idea that the terrorist would commit an act to some how cause an effect in the vote is rediculous. It would cause turmoil but it would be impossible to predict how the electorate would react.
Perhaps that's all they want, is to cause turmoil? On 9/11, and even a couple days after, a lot in the US was completely shut down -- they flat out disabled us for that brief period.
I think terrorrists would love to cause any sort of swing in votes -- it's the one thing that we, as Americans, mention often when we're talking about many of the important freedoms we have -- the freedom to vote.
The biggest goal of the terrorrists, if they wanted to do something with elections, would be to flat-out cancel/delay elections in our country -- I doubt that would happen, even if it occurred on election morning.
