Vanity: Pesky Legal Obstacles to Replacing Biden on Ballots Remain
Vanity (X) ^

(Note: Posted as VANITY as not a 'sourced news outlet' story yet...)

Everyone should read this…

They’ve Successfully Replaced Joe Biden on the Ballot — but How is the Next Nominee Going to Get on the Ballot in Two States?

The Heritage Oversight Project Highlighted They Cannot Take Biden off the Democratic Ticket in Two States, for any Reason other than Death or 25th Amendment 👀

Joe Biden did not die, nor has he been removed via the 25th amendment…

🔴 There are Two (Or More) Problematic States Now

• Nevada • Wisconsin

• Wisconsin: does not allow withdrawal from the ballot for any reason besides death. —— Biden hasn’t die

• Nevada: no changes can be made to the ballot after 5 p.m. on the fourth Friday in June of an election year or 'a nominee dies or is adjudicated insane or mentally incompetent. —— It’s past June, and Biden has not died, nor 25th’d

• Georgia: If Biden were to withdraw less than 60 days before the election, his name will remain on the ballot but no votes will be counted. —— not applied here.

• Texas, the two party's nominees have until the 74th day before the election to withdraw from the ballot. —— As of today, there are 106 days til election. The next candidate can be added.

• Some states, like South Carolina, do not allow candidates to withdraw for political reasons. —— This is still up in the air. No indication if they will allow the change.

• Some states don't have any laws on the books for dealing with a presidential nominee withdrawing, and there is little precedent for such a situation occurring. —— the next two weeks will be interesting

So unless they use the 25th amendment to remove him, or kill him, the next Presidential Nominee won’t be a choice in the next election.

The Rockefeller Precedent is looking more and more enticing…

Does this mean they MUST use the 25th A on Joe?

I assume these have never been challenged in court

One argument will be that Biden was never the official candidate

I don't think Biden is officially on any ballots because he was still just the "presumptive" nominee.

The DNC nominating convention is still several weeks away and there is no official general election candidate yet.

I don’t think it matters. When you vote for a president, you are actually voting for presidential electors. So let’s say Biden stays on a ballot, and he wins that state.

When the Electoral College meets in December, those Biden electors will simply vote for the current Democrat nominee. Nothing can stop them from doing so.

At least that’s the way I see it.

Here we go again. The RAT pygmies are going to change the rules and do whatever it takes for their nasty butts to continue ruling over the people who like to call themselves Americans. That ain’t happening. They’re freeloading cowards.

Some states have ‘faithless elector’ laws against that behavior.

Biden resigns on personal letterhead - NOT presidential letterhead - with a signature and we don’t even see him.

His staff says they found out about it on X/Twitter.

We’re told he ‘has COVID’ and nobody has seen him.

Odd. We didn’t get the LBJ speech on TV from Joe?

But this may be more on point:

Come on journalists! Do better! You all know Kamala Harris is a sacrificial lamb, being fed to the wolves. Why aren’t you reporting all of the comings and goings at Michelle’s War Room since Thursday?

Literally dozens and dozens of Democrat billionaire donors (Fred Eychaner, Reid Hoffman, James and Marilyn Simons, Michael Mortiz (Sequoia Capital and the Chinese Communist Party) Elizabeth Heising, Wayne Jordan, Jeffrey Skill, Patty Quillin, etc., etc.) K Street and Washington, D.C. royalty have been taking turns kissing Barack Hussein Obama II’s ring.

Anyone that doesn’t admit Barack is in charge is either ignorant or lying. His silence and then refusing to endorse Kamala Harris should tell you all you need to know.

I said previously, Barack Obama is the most powerful man in the Democratic Party. Period. End of story. He is going to do whatever it takes to be President a 4th term by proxy, using Michelle. Enjoy the show! 🍿

Laws are for little people and Republicans.
For Democrats, they are merely guidelines or friendly suggestions.

How can you replace a nominee that does not exist and never existed.

This makes no sense.

81 million votes for Joe in 2020!

A higher % of blacks voted for Biden than for Obama. !!

And yet here they are today being disenfranchised from the party out to ‘save democracy’ (even though we live in a Constitutional Republic...)

No nominees are on the ballots in those states yet. Biden was not yet the Dem nominee - he was the “presumptive” nominee because he had enough delegates pledged to him to win on the first ballot. But he would not have become the nominee until he was formally nominated and the delegates voted for him. So this idea that he is on the ballot in some states already is false.
