They can’t replace her name on the ballot...even now. What electors do is another matter entirely. And, the primary point is that Nov. 1 is a meaningless date. That date has no bearing or significance whatsoever. Her name is on the ballot no matter what.
I don’t know how it is on the ballots in your area. I do know that in my town/State the ballot is listed as the Dem Elector/Candidate Name.
I remember being a kid and thinking that was weird.
I agree with you that the ballots are already printed, and the cut off times have passed.
It is picking nits and I am not trying to be “difficult.” I just wanted to let you know what “on the ballot” means in the people’s republic of MA.
In any event, if they don’t like how something comes out, they just make up something new and ignore the election.
