New Jersey and the Torch for example?
There are no restrictions at all.
You vote to choose your state's electors. Then they are free to choose whoever they want.
The democRATS have already PROVEN there are NO RULES...
...if the candidate is a (D)
However the rules are VERY STRICT if the candidate is an (R)
It does not matter to the (D)'s if absentee ballots have
already been mailed out to our military, and overseas voters.
They don't care... Courts back them up.
what's even worse, they try to claim a vote for (D1) who is
no longer on the ballot, is actually a vote vor (D2), the
substitutee (in other words, Shrillary)
We'll know soon enough if Lautenberg suddenly shows up kissing small children and windsurfing up the Potomac.
Hillary ain't gonna swoop in. Fuggheddabadit.
Is this a US 9th Circuit Court question or US Supreme Court question?
Loosen that tin foil a bit. It's cutting off the circulation.
Bush is in this to win, whatever the ups and downs of the polls. Or were you referring to the 'Rat party?
So who you want to replace Kerry? Hillary, Gore, Liberman, Edwards?
There would be a deadline to have your candidate's name printed on the ballot and requirements to meet beforehand. Write-ins would be possible anytime.
Not true. Lots of states have deadlines for submitting a party's candidate for the state's ballot. In fact, due to the lateness of the Republican convention this year (an artifact of Olympic scheduling), a few states had to pass special bills to extend the deadline.
I know that California and Illinois both passed legislation allowing parties to submit their candidates close to the election than normally permitted. This means the DemocRATS could be in serious trouble if they tried to switch candidates for trivial reasons(anything less than major illness or death of a candidate). I would imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger would veto a bill allowing if the legislature passed one. There's no way the DemocRATS could force the states to change their ballots on short notice.
Hillary's never going to try to get elected in '04, and she doesn't want Kerry elected in '04 either. She knows she has a much better chance against whoever the pubs run in '08 - Cheney if his ticker lasts, or some leser known pub.
I know this for a fact. She wakes me up in the middle of the night to tell me these things.
It really doesn't matter....Bush will win who ever he runs against!!!
What do the rules have anything to do with it? Don't forget, we're talking dims here.
Thank you very much for the various answers. I don't think such a scenario is actually plausible, but I was curious as to the conditions and legalities of such an occurrence.
I appreciate your help! :)
When George W Bush is re elected President if the Electoral College Put Kerry in office i beleive you would see more civil disobediance than you have ever witnessed in a lifetime !
It was close the last time but i dont see anything that close this time When G.W.B. wins by a landslide if the electoral college tried to pull a bait and switch there would be so much hell to pay we would run out of TAR and FEATHERS !
