Hmmmm, that means a lot more ballots need to be printed and mailed and returned.

Could just result in fewer votes for Democrats everywhere.....if Biden dropped out but people have already cast their mail in ballot for Biden and the slate of local candidates and issues ... will those ballots stand for Biden or can they be 'awarded' to a replacement candidate?

Wouldn't the replacement candidate have to be a write in candidate?

While Biden and Harris are probably two of the weakest possible candidates that the Democrat Party could put forth, (one must wonder why they were selected) changing them out with 40 days or less to go could completely flummox potential Democrat voters even if Big Mike were to step in.

Additionally, many states bind electors to those on the official ballot at least for the first vote so the replacement may not qualify for any electoral votes on the first round of voting.
