MILWAUKEE — President Biden could secure the Democratic nomination for a potential second term as early as this month thanks to electronic voting by delegates, The Post has learned — a move seen by critics as trying to shove him through the process.
Electronic delegate voting had been discussed before the embattled 81-year-old president’s disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump on June 27.
But details about the timeline are only taking shape now, and the perception among some party stalwarts is that his camp wants to hurry things along — while critics try to slam the brakes on the process to allow more time to persuade him to step aside.
A formal start to online voting has not yet been scheduled, two Democratic National Committee sources told The Post — but one said that the timing of a vote has been discussed internally as possibly beginning within days, sometime in “mid-July.”
A group of House Democrats who want Biden to end his bid for a second term are now circulating a letter requesting that the vote be held later.
They say they have heard chatter that the voting could begin as early as July 21, earlier than the July 29-Aug. 5 range reported by Axios, which published an unsigned copy of the draft letter.
“There is no legal justification for this extraordinary and unprecedented action which would effectively accelerate the nomination process by nearly a month,” says the draft letter, which emerged one day after former PresidentTrump formally secured the Republican presidential nomination.
The electronic voting plan was originally devised so that the Democratic ticket will be formalized in time for the Aug. 7 deadline in Ohio for its November ballot.

If they do that do they cancel Chicago?
Do the anti Biden folks then get Rich\Epsteined?
They can use the extra convention day for rioting inside the hall.
:-)

Suspense? None.
Excitement? None.
Important announcements? None.
The only news worth covering in Chicago will be the riots and violence.
They know the fix is in and Biden will be the one evil enough to pull it off. I am not optimistic.

Oh, good. I hope they use Dominion voting machines.
Why not? He’s a virtual President.
LETS GOOOOOO
I’m not sure anyone with a “D” wishes to have the convention in Chicago after they have been complaing about the administration giving perks to illegal as they enter the city. Look for a sick out.

HAYOOOOHHH!!!!!
We have a winner.
You forgot the P...
Will they still go to Chicago, just to rubber stamp the decision? Will the delegates actually go to the convention, or go visit tourist attractions instead?
The dims will still go to Chicago. Free vacation, lots of good food, good liquor and hookers and blow. Plus the rioters and looters have to have a reason to raise hell and tear the city up.
Distopian valhalla. Democrat’s reality.
Outside of the WEF.
Well do it, then.
Trump v. The Vegetable.
I think it is very strange that the same media that for years thought his gaffes were amusing turned on him so rapidly after the debate. He didn’t change overnight. They have been covering for him for years. So what changed? Maybe there is someone waiting in the wings who didn’t want to do a messy primary? Maybe that was the plan all along? Don’t know...but something doesn’t seem right!
