This guy on CBS says the new candidate can be on the ballot of all 50 states. He/she either can or can't. Mike Johnson says otherwise. Who's right?

I think he'll show up on all ballots. Convention hasn't started yet and that's when the candidate is nominated. Splitting' hairs? You tell me.

I guess I need to go read up on the whole LBJ 1968 situation and work out the timing there.

Law? For Democrats? There is no law when it come to Democrats. They will find a tame judge to say what ever they do is fine.

I can see it now: The "ick-spurts" will say that we need electronic ballots.

More secure you know, for Democrats.

I would question which State Legislator or judge would be able to enforce the law. The legislators did not step in during 2020 when the election was stolen, so I have little faith that the current laws will be enforced.

I’m wondering about the Texas 18 seat. The incumbent, Sheila Jackson Lee, died in office, died a couple of days ago.

She had won the primary. She is listed as on the ballot. Can they do a special election before November? It looks to me that either the Democrats have to elect a dead woman or the Republican is running unopposed.

I believe this guy more than Mike Johnson, who is a politician trying to get some cheap points and get the base excited about something that he probably also knows is not going anywhere. The Dems will get who they nominate during their convention, and no frivolous GOP lawsuit will change that. However, if there is chaos at the convention, that will help the GOP much more than any lawsuit would.

Horace Greeley died in 1872, after the election (?) but before the electoral college met. Most of his electoral votes went to B. Gratz Brown, his VP candidate, with VP votes scattered among other candidates.

Ha ha ha ha, democrats worry about election laws. Yah right!!! There isn’t a Court in the land that will keep the eventual Dem nominee off of a ballot.

Election “laws” so optional when you are a Dem.

There is a point where the mail in early vote ballots have gone to the printer.

There are deadlines in several States for candidates to be put on the ballot. In fact the DNC convention was scheduled so late that it would miss several of those deadlines, which IIRC was the reason they were going to hold a virtual convention August 6th to officially nominate their candidate.
