Ballots have to be printed in time to mail absentee ballots to Americans abroad. This includes military personnel. Late returning military absentees have been a running scandal for many years. So: there is a drop dead date for printing ballots. After that, people have to write in a late switch.
All part of the plan...
Democrats cheat and believe that laws only apply to Republicans. Besides they will say it is racist and Republican voter suppression to keep Biden on the ballot.
Irrelevant.
It’s of no importance who is “on the ballot” because the voters don’t choose the President, the Electors appointed by the State Legislature do.
There are no “Presidential elections” in the Constitution, no “running”, no “being nominated”, no “being on the ballot”, no “calling a state”, no “conceding” - there is one Presidential election, recently on the second Monday in December, there are 538 voters who meet in 51 separate locations on the same day and choose the President.
The NJ Torricelli/Lautenberg precedent is meaningless because in NJ and in the other 49 states the voters elect the Senator directly, so it requires mischief to count Torricelli votes as votes for Lautenberg.
But for appointing NJ Electors in 2024? That is a reserved plenary power of the State Legislature, NOT the voters, and while in normal times the result of voting in November and the appointment of Electors is aligned, these are not normal times and there is NOTHING in the Constitution that transfers the choice of Electors away from the State Legislature.
a bit of good news regading this issue:
Heritage Foundation working on election legal challenges in case Biden pulled from DNC nomination
‘You can’t just swap’ a presidential candidate out: Jason Chaffetz
Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz joins ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ to discuss the alarm bells ringing for Democrats following President Biden’s debate performance.
A major conservative activist group is preparing for legal battles in case the Democratic Party chooses to pull President Biden out of the running before or after he becomes the nominee.
The Heritage Foundation, one of the United States’ most prominent and well-connected conservative activist groups, is laying the groundwork in case a sudden switch-up in the Democratic roster sparks a legal war.
“We are monitoring the calls from across the country for President Biden to step aside, either now or before the election, and have concluded that the process for substitution and withdrawal is very complicated,” Executive Director of The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project Mike Howell said in a statement. “We will remain vigilant that appropriate election integrity procedures are followed.”
You need to see what those statutes say about the death or withdrawal of a candidate.
they left biden in this long on purpose, so they could manufacture another crisis to rig the election results by.
Probably part of Jill’s argument for the promotion. She is, after all, Mrs. “Joseph Biden”.
