You sound like a Democrat.

What you have provided is “I think” and “I heard that.”

You can’t have your Democrat ticket disqualified and then just have the EC vote in another Democrat.

It’s like Obama didn’t run at all. All the EC votes go to McCain: 538 - 0.

This online petition is asking officials to honor the Constitution and require Obama to prove that he is a natural born citizen. I don’t believe that Obama is eligible to serve as President:

“You can’t have your Democrat ticket disqualified and then just have the EC vote in another Democrat.”

Wishful thinking. First, the “ticket” won’t be disqualified; the “ticket” has no Constitutional significance. Second, the electors can vote for whom they please, whether or not a candidate is determined to be disqualified. Therefore, they can vote for whom they please if Obama is disqualified, and if they decide to vote for Hillary Clinton, there is nothing to be done about it.

The post-electoral college process is different. If the President-elect is disqualified, then Congress must choose a President from the other(s) who received electoral votes, up to a limit of three. If the electoral college vote goes as expected, that will leave only John McCain; if one of the electors casts a vote for Hillary Clinton, it will leave a choice between McCain and Clinton.
