My understanding... Our votes on November 4th only selected the Electors, so the
real votes for President and Vice-President have yet to be cast. If Obama were to be declared ineligible before January 8th (the day of the real vote) then really nothing changes, except the Electors cannot cast a vote for Obama. They can choose
anyone they want, really. I'm suggesting that since the vast majority of them are there to vote for Obama they would never vote for McCain, but would most likely vote for Biden. I have a hard time seeing them vote for Hillary.
That's my opinion. I could be wrong.
Another FReeper posted that Obama chose his electors from the party faithful so they wouldn't be McCain supporters and it's doubtful they'd choose Hillary although they could. I don't see how Biden could be chosen as he was picked by Obama and ran for VP, not Prez. And if Obama is found ineligible, is his VP pick also ineligible? Are his electors ineligible to vote if the Dems knowingly ran someone that didn't qualify?
Aren't the ins and outs of this fascinating?
