Nope. Not for a fraudulent election. VP would get the position if he dies or if some other circumstances sidelined him. Having a fraud on the ticket invalidates the ticket.

The actual election is the Electoral College. We have had one candidate die before they voted and they still voted for president. It would be the right thing to do to have a new election, but that is not the Constitutional option. That remedy is for the EC/Congress to fix it before January 20 and succession to fix it after.

The Constitution does not recognize a “ticket” only electoral votes for each office. McCain would be the president if Zero’s electoral votes are invalid.

Should he be removed prior to the EC vote then it could theoretically vote for any eligible candidate.
