No, legally he can't delay the election. But don't rely on "legal". ACT.

The only reason he's floating this is to make people panic and flail, distract from his being an utter failure and (he hopes) assume that it's fait accompli.

It's not.
Never forget: he's a conman and a coward. His only "strength" is the first-mover advantage of people being gobsmacked that he actually did the absurd thing nobody else would do.

This is more of the Bannon strategy: flood the zone with shit.
He *always* backs down at the first sign of actual resistance. Want to make sure he doesn't even *try* to do more than float the idea? ACT.

GET LOUD. Flood the zone yourselves. The phones for your representatives, senators and governors should NEVER STOP RINGING.
Worried that's not enough? Flood the zone in person. Make the streets a *sea* of signs and protesters demanding that your state legislation take action to preserve and guarantee the election.

Stop being polite. Stop trying to be "fair". Flood the zone.
Stop trying to debate your racist uncle or your former classmates. Debate isn't going to work. Get loud. Ignore the deflections or the attempts to derail shit, ignore the "LOL HOAX" and the attempts at gish-galloping. Block, move on and get louder.
Will they try to suppress the vote? Probably. Flood it anyway. Anticipate and organize around it. Pool resources now.

The more noise you make, the more resistance you put up, the faster he backs down.
