Watching the news this morning and discussion of the possibility of Biden dropping out, a former congressman (Chafitz) brought up an interesting point.
Biden is on state's ballots. Primaries have been held and the dye is set. There is not a slot for Democrats (or Republican) and they can not add or drop as they need.
At this point in the election process, the only way one can get off the ballot is to die. (Cafitz' point)
Biden has to stay on the ballot as a place holder if for no other reason.
Interesting point. There are many here who are very well versed in the election process. Is Cahfitz' point correct?
My thought is, if so, it will take a challenge of state's election rules to replace him on ballots OR a massive write-in campaign.
Trust me, the Democrats aren’t going to let little things like laws get in their way. They’ll circumvent the ballot issue somehow.
The rats can do whatever they want. In their minds rules (and laws) are for suckers.
we are not voting for the presidential candidate. We are voting for a slate of electors. No ballot change needs to be made.
The Democrats deceived their voters when they eliminated the primary process. They hid Joe from the public.
They did it for Toricelli, they can do it for Biden.
Exactly.
Biden isnt going anywhere, I say let him go all the way to November I just saw a poll showing that Trump is leading Biden in NEW JERSEY yeah you read that right, so yeah keep Biden on the ballot, besides, dems went to the primary polls and voted for him, making their votes not count is against democracy and all
Technically, no one votes for a candidate for president. They vote for a slate of electors. The electors will do what they are told, or face the wrath of the elites.

They would have to re-do millions of pre-filled and sighed ballots.
Or, they can just say, “We declare that on the ballot, Biden means _Newsome_”, for example.
“He has already won, you know.”
Not a problem. The Dims are experts at ballot modification.
He is not on ANY ballots yet.
He is not even going to be nominated before early August, and that’s only to comply with the very first ballot deadline of Ohio. The DNC has 5+ weeks to replace him with no controversy if they wish, and the replacement will be on every ballot in the country.
Legalities have never gotten in the way of the DNC getting what it wants. Just ask Seth Rich.......oh, you can’t he is dead. Just ask the author of the Steele report and the lies to the FISA court so Trump’s campaign could be bugged.......oh, that sort of never happened or at least people apologized.
Not off the early ballots after they are sent Oct. 7.
It varies by state as to whether you count the presidential line by party (VT) or by person (OH). But in many states, it is by person, thus if the name on the early ballots differs from the candidate on ED, the only ballots counted are those on ED.
Since he isn’t officially the Rat nominee at present, he isn’t on the ballot anywhere except possibly Ohio where the RINOs passed a special law to let his name appear on the ballot due to how late the Rat convention is.
We need to stop shit shit. I’m serious, the constant “oh, no, what will THEY do now” is just sickening.
They are not brilliant. They are not demigods. They have run a HORRIFICALLY bad campaign (contrasted with a pretty smart campaign in 2020). No, they cannot bend COUNTY laws of 3000 + counties which PRINT BALLOTS. No, they cannot have one name on the OH ballot (Aug. 7) and a different one on election day or else ALL the early ballots will not be counted and Trump wins with 500 EVs.
They have absurdly screwed themselves with their own stupidity and we need to attack.
Nope. Torch was a 1) state race; 2) had no national nominating convention which the Ds MUST HAVE BEFORE AUG 6; 3) Did not involve 3000 COUNTIES nationally printing ballots (not a state); and a million other reasons this isn’t applicable.
We need to seriously stop with the damn defeatism.
A bunch of McClellans is what we have.
Ouch!
He’s not even been nominated yet.
The question is can the Democrat party replace him as nominee?
It seems to me he has to withdraw.
His delegates are pledged.
