I don't think they're tied into a candidate until they submit the individual state paperwork certifying the nominee for the ballot, something like 90 days before the election. Once submitted, it depends upon the state; many allow substitutions up until x days before the election when the ballots are printed and mailed out.

All that said, why would they substitute in someone else? Someone being indicted by a grand jury? Isn't that par for the course for most Democrats to begin with? And you know the Dixie Mafia would drag Obama out of the WH by his big ears to do an executive pardon for Hillary (brushing off the crimes as ‘politically motivated witch hunt’ since, well, rules only apply to conservatives.)

90 days is very close to the end of their convention. Their convention ends July 28. So they have just about 100 or so days until Nov 8.

I think if she is indicted, something I will believe when I see it, it would be too late to change much of the ballots in several states. Hopefully those states would be California, New York, New Jersey and several other Left leaning states.

Even if she is indicted, most Democrats would still vote for her. They are after all immoral to the core or at least amoral.
