Both tickets could be dead by Nov 3rd

[dickthegrouch]

What happens if one or more parties to the presidential ticket passes away before Election Day?
A number of people are voting early for tickets that may not be viable.
It’s an unprecedented situation. Does any part of the law or constitution foresee it?

[Thekaspervote]

1. Really? Can we not do more doom and gloom..please

[Dem2theMax]

6. +100,000,000,000,000,000,000

Enough is enough. Why can't we just do what we need to do, GOTV, and hold on to hope right now?

Everybody stop with the 'what if' posts.

[Wanderlust988]

2. Worst post of the year n/t

[trueblue2007]

20. WHAT A STUPID THREAD. what if what if. Did a Russian write this op

[tormadjax]

3. WTH?!!!

[Solly Mack]

4. Chocolate?

[moonscape]

5. LOL! n/t

[Solly Mack]

10. ;)

A wedge of dark chocolate a day keeps the megrims away.

[Dem2theMax]

7. This is my answer for everything!

Unfortunately, the scales in my bathroom can prove it.

[Solly Mack]

8. Dark chocolate is the answer to everything.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

24. And what a fine answer it is, too.

Now, what was the question?

[Solly Mack]

26. The meaning of life?

Dark chocolate.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

27. So, not "42"? Dang.

[Solly Mack]

29. Nothing is preventing dark chocolate from being the meaning of 42.

Transitive property.

My brain on dark chocolate.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

30. I understand now. So, based on the OP,

If all tickets are dead, prez and veep, by Nov 3,

Dark chocolate.

But, if all are alive, and Biden is prez-elect, as I hope and expect, then

Dark chocolate.

Got it.

[Solly Mack]

33. OP aside - dark chocolate.

Dark chocolate first, last, always.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

34. Off I go to hell.

Milk chocolate........

[Solly Mack]

35. Oh, my. That's a dirty word.

But sometimes you just hafta use one.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

40. Some days I trifle and godiva have my truffles.

Who can go eat their oatmeal after seeing that?


KY........

[ProfessorGAC]

42. 42 Is Wrong. It's 6.

The answer to everything is 6!
Add the digits in 42!
See?!?!?

[Meowmee]

13. 😹

Wish I could... i need it after reading this post 😹

[Solly Mack]

14. Everyone needs chocolate.

Everyone doesn't know that yet.

[Meowmee]

15. Yep

Unfortunately I can’t eat it anymore due to health issues only a tiny bit here and there

[Solly Mack]

16. I'm sorry.

Even a tiny bit every now and then helps. I eat a small square once a week. It's my treat. I eat it slowly and enjoy every morsel.

[Meowmee]

17. Thats good, thanks!

Occasionally I have a coconut cookie that has chocolate chips, but chocolate messes up my digestion and bg now, oh well, next life maybe lol.

[PSPS]

9. OMG! What about, "I'm not really a horse. I'm a broom!"

[DFW]

11. An asteroid could wipe out Nevada, and Rhode Island could sink beneath the sea by Novermber 3rd, too

Forget everything else, prepare for the worst!

[trueblue2007]

21. what if ..... what if..... Unicorns could gore every human on the planet to death. what if

[DFW]

23. Oh no! Not that!

Anything but that!

[JI7]

12. What if an asteroid hits and life is destroyed ???

[cwydro]

18. Early voting starts Thursday in my state.

I plan to be there bright and early.

[TeamPooka]

19. Thank you for your concern. Thread trashed.

25. Stop trashing this thread, folks. This is supposed to be a DISCUSSION board

and I'd been wondering about that issue myself in the past couple weeks, since drumpf's taking ill. I did a Web search to see what could be found, and came upon this interesting article that looks at a number of possible scenarios.

[dickthegrouch]

48. Thank you

If WAPO thinks it of interest, I feel a little vindicated.

All the bots and bullies here are now blocked.

[Fix The Stupid]

52. No shit...how low this board has sunk..I see why Skinner got out...

OP has been here since 2005, has a star, but treated like garbage.

Not surprised though.

[obamanut2012]

28. Delete this

I am suffering third-party embarrassment for you for posting this. I mean that sincerely, I'm not snarking.

Just apologize and delete.

[PubliusEnigma]

31. Ivan Drago, is that you?

[hlthe2b]

32. so, let's next have the 'asteroid randomly takes out key 4 figures of both parties' discussion...

[Nexus2]

36. Personally, I don't know but making WAG

Perhaps the VPs would take over the primary candidate position and select a new VP?

[Klaralven]

37. What happens if a nominee dies shortly before or after the election? It's complicated.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/10/06/what-happens-if-nominee-dies-shortly-before-or-after-election-its-complicated/

Search for "what happens if a presidential candidate dies" and ye shall find.

[dickthegrouch]

47. Thank you I didn't find that

I realize I didn;t put the real meat of my question in

If I were in-person at the polling place and I make a mistake I can ask for another ballot.
If I mail it in, in advance, I can do no such thing.
I genuinely wanted to know if there was a remedy, or if there even needed to be.

Thank you, again, for not being a bully.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

38. As usual, there would be obits, undertakers, funerals and grieving.

After a brief memorial pause, the earth will resume rotation.

[ms liberty]

39. Yes, god forbid we should go one day without asking this question

Or a similar question, just because some people can't fucking use the google. This one is particularly egregious. You should be ashamed of yourself for that thread title alone.

[Squinch]

41. Buck up. So could you or any of the rest of us. So maybe you don't need to worry about it.

[denbot]

43. Squirrel!

Oh the Hugh Manatees!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

44. OFFS. nt

[Drunken Irishman]

45. So could you. Then you wouldn't have to worry about such an outcome.

[grantcart]

49. Beat me to it.

[onenote]

46. All time worst, most cowardly hit and run OP in DU history.

[marie999]

50. 20th Amendment. The election would go on. If Trump or Biden dies before the election

but wins the election the vice-president elect would be the president elect.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

51. What?! Seriously?!

What's wrong (or potentially wrong) with Joe?
