Complications:
1) what happens to the millions Biden has raised for Biden?
2) what happens in the couple of key states like Wisconsin and Nevada where Biden may be legally locked in on the November ballot?
of course the consequences associated with the above depend on an assumption that Democrats are held to the requirements of the laws of the land, but we all know that assumption is dubious at best
With Libs in charge what difference does a law, rule, procedure actually mean? Worse case they get sued and years and years later maybe they loose. It’s not their money and no one every gets punished..
I read there are issues with the money Biden has raised going to another candidate although that shouldn’t be much of an issue. And them more importantly, 3 states have strict rules around pulling Joe off the ticket at this point in time.
They’ll come up with something. They always do.
.
Georgia, too
Jill will exact a steep price.
Your recitation is substantial and there’s no question but what the legal removal of Biden from the ballot would be a gigantic nuisance and embarrassment for the DNC and all of its minions. However, Joe is definitely a jacked up druggie with a large consumption of whatever chemical magic can be concocted to keep him going. That necessarily makes him vulnerable to anyone who might choose to “adjust” his medication. Enter Hillary, whom we all know had absolutely nothing to do with the “suicides” of Vince Foster and Jeffrey Epstein. At that point there is always the possibility of a timely and horribly tragic departure for Joe.
1. Biden keeps it unless he voluntarily gives it to the DNC.
2. Those no votes are tallied for Biden in those states, but he stays on the ballot.
RE: legally obligated states....
“Legally, shmeagally, we do whatever we feel like. We are Democrats.”
Is anyone ever actually locked in, despite what the law may clearly say? Torricelli was locked in and faring poorly in New Jersey late in 2002, and the state supreme court simply decided that the democrats could put Lautenberg on the ballot instead.
“what happens in the couple of key states like Wisconsin and Nevada where Biden may be legally locked in on the November ballot?”
Wondering about Ohio as well- not that he has any chance of winning but didn’t they have to call a special session of their state senate to get him on the ballot?
A lot of this discussion is premature. We have to see what happens with the polling in the next 7-10 days. If Biden only drops to 45 percent and Trump is at 55 percent, many democrats may conclude (perhaps wrongly) that Biden can recover from the situation in the next couple of months. I’ve been looking at some of the left wing websites, and there seem to be lot of average democrats who think Biden should stay in the race. The media may also start to spin the news to claim that Biden just had a “bad night.”
His replacement doesn’t get that money.
It a problem for Dems… recall: Torricelli! Rules don’t apply to Dems!
An interesting article on that subject...
Here is how that works:
Joe remains on the ballot but frees the electors to vote for the Democrat nominee.
When the electors meet, they vote for the Democrat nominee.
Easy Peasy.
No state is going to disenfranchise 50% of their voters. We need to stop thinking they will. It would be political suicide.
A Democrat legally locked in the ballot. How cute. Frank the Tank Lautenburg has entered the chat.
If it’s Biden’s money then Jill will keep it.
For what it's worth, I read an article yesterday that said the millions in the Biden war chest can ONLY go to Kamala Harris.
Spot on. Swapping Biden is a wet dream for the NeverTrumps and neocons.
NeverTrump moron Adam Kinzinger Is retweeting calls for Biden to step down — 24 hours after endorsing him lol!
