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)

As pointed out above, the vote "for President" is really for Presidential electors. The electors are nominated by the respective Parties or campaigns. I seem to remember that in the '76 election when I voted via old fashioned (even then) paper ballot in a Volunteer fire department's firehouse in a small town (~450) in Nebraska, the electors names were even on the ballot, along with the name of the cannidate they were pledged to vote for. The exact details vary by state, and are set by the State Legislature, as per the Constitution for the United States.

As I recall, that claim was tossed out. The courts ruled that a vote was for a person, and that you can't rule on voter intent based on how a voter voted on a particular race. They were ruling against a form of institutionalized block vote (where you basically check one box to vote for every Democrat or Republican).

The courts were saying that, just because you voted for 10 Democrats, you can't infer a vote for an 11th Democrat. The voter has to intentionally vote for that Democrat.

However, that was then (2000: Carnahan, 2002:Torricelli/Mink), this is now.
