I think Missouri was the last state where a dead person won a national race. Mel Carnahan died in a plane crash a few weeks before the 2000 election for U.S. Senate, stayed on the ballot, and won. It was announced after his death, and prior to the vote, that his wife would take the seat in Carnahan's place if he won, so that's what happened. As an additional wrinkle, the Governor was responsible for naming the stand-in and Mel Carnahan was Governor at the time of his death. So Carnahan's Lieutenant Governor was the one who ultimately selected Mrs. Carnahan as the fill in. There was a Special Election held the next year, and Mrs. Carnahan lost to the challenger. I guess the rough equivalent would be Pence naming Melania (or Don, Jr. -- shudder) as the fill-in but it's pretty much uncharted waters so who knows what would happen. Anyways, it's a lot more likely that Trump is sick for a week or two, recovers, boasts about his recovery is proof that he has the world's strongest immune system, then loses to Biden straight-up.degenerasian wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 5:32 pm My wife asked me this morning what would happen with regard to the election if Trump were to pass away.
I'm not an expert of US election law, but given the primary has passed, the nominee is picked, with ballots printed and people have already voted, wouldn't Trump's name stay on the ballot?
There have been dead people that have won elections in the past.
In the event that Trump wins as a corpse, then I would imagine Pence would be sworn in as President in January, where he would have to appoint a successor as VP?

Senators are elected by popular vote, the President isn't. I don't know if the electors are required to elect a living person, or one who is actually capable of serving per the 25th Amendment. That's an interesting question. But the whole thing is pretty different.Joe K wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 9:38 pmI think Missouri was the last state where a dead person won a national race.

I'm just going out on a limb here...but maybe the universe is trying to tell us that Amy Coney Barrett really shouldn't be on Supreme Court

I know he’s directly and publicly shit on a lot of people, but it seems to me that very few have gotten it as badly, and come back so often for more, as Chris Christie.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.

Conley’s presser doesn’t add up. Trump is faking this.
Re: 2020 Presidential Election: Joe Biden vs Whoever the Republicans Nominate
Wait...are you suggesting that everyone got in cahoots to "catch" this as a matter of political strategy?
That seems dumb.

Re: 2020 Presidential Election: Joe Biden vs Whoever the Republicans Nominate
It makes a lot of sense that Trump had it sooner than reported and that _he_ was the superspreader at these events. Only piece that is weird is that the symptoms weren't obvious at the debate (or so I'm told).
Re: 2020 Presidential Election: Joe Biden vs Whoever the Republicans Nominate
Once you factor in the skipped debate test it all makes total sense. They were never going to reveal until they had no choice which makes me optimistic it’s a bad case.

I don’t have the same ire for him as most of the others who have it which means he’ll be the one who bites it and Trump will joke about his death after reelection.

Bruh, wut.
Also it's been pointed out that in his tweet upthread, the second "l" in "well" is actually a capital "i".

Yeah. He is going to emerge as a total dominate win over a virus he never had. They moved him cause others got it. It’s a win win in their eyes. He will come out and claim CV is nothing. He has pre existing conditions and won.

I get the paranoia, but what about the senators and the reporters that came down with it?

Dude that makes no sense. Trump isn’t that calculating, for one. And no way is he going to come up with a plan that makes him look weak and vulnerable for days.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

... and cancel his campaign events in the height of election season
