US has never been at war in the homeland. That would make a huge difference. Plus it would probably be much easier during the chaos for Russia to subvert the Ukrainian elections. But that's just me talking out my ass. Definitely good to be aware though. If the US did it, it would at least be through congressional action.
We have, but it was back during the war of 1812. Canadians burned the capital to the ground as a warning.
Didn't Bush Jr. try to delay elections back when starting the Iraq war? I forgot what his reasoning was (if any).
