Thank you for your post. I have been looking at these posts for some time and am mystified by Zero's actions.

I have never seen a full explanation as to what would happen if Zero is found to be ineligible. Could you or someone sum up the potential legal outcomes in the three possible timing scenarios noted below. For completeness, in any of the scenarios below, is the answer the same if the candidate died?

1. Before the election
Does this mean that democratic votes would go to Biden or would the ballots be ineligible? Or is a combination that varies by state?

2. After the election but before the electors vote
Some electors can have their own choices and others are bound. The choice seems simple when electors have a choice but what happens if they are bound to the winner?

3. After the electors vote
This goes to the House of Representatives. Presuming only Zero and McCain received votes, what options does the House have - are they bound to choose between candidates who received electoral votes? Can they vote in Hillary?

We do know one thing for sure ... the Obama supporters will have riots all over America before or after the election.

What happens if there is no elected President even after Jan 20th ? ... what if this thing drags on ?

I think this is the summary. Any comments?

Before election:

•DNC decides, method not specified
•RNC fills vacancy, reconvene convention or RNC state representitves vote, simple majority wins

Just before the election:

•Congress may pass special legislation to move back election day to give more time for the party to select a new candidate and regroup

11/4 Election

After election, but before Electoral College

•No federal law. Electors open to vote for VP, third party, or convention runner up. State laws may affect elector's abilities to select.

12/15 Electoral College

After Electoral College, before Congress counts the votes

•Congress counts Electoral College votes and declares winner. Winner's VP gets it

-or-
•Congress throws out votes. If a surviving candidate can be said to have a majority of votes, they get it.
-or-
•Congress throws out votes. Per 12th Amendment, House of represetitives selects from top three candidates with the most votes. (surviving Democrat or Republican and two third party candidates?)
-or-
•Per 20th Amendment, VP gets it, but only applies after candidate becomes 'President-Elect". That could be after Electoral College.

1/6 Congressional Vote Count

After Congressional count but before inauguration;
•Per 20th Amendment, VP gets it, but only applies after candidate becomes 'President-Elect" That is certainly after Congressional count.

1/20 Inauguration
•VP gets it
