In 1912 the Republican Vice Presidential candidate (who was the incumbent Vice President), James S. Sherman, died on October 30. The election was on November 5 (the 1912 calendar is identical to the 2024 calendar). The Republican Party replaced Sherman with Nicholas Baker who got the 8 Republican electoral votes for Vice President (I don’t know if Baker’s name appeared on all the ballots).
