I will dance a jig and leave JPP forever
tell it to Libya. She's a fully loathful creature.
She's as crooked as Nixon, dangerous as Cheney. She has no redeeming features. none.
Since the time of Andrew Jackson's run for the presidency in 1828, individual political parties have had the job of filling any vacancy on their national ticket, either that of their presidential or vice-presidential candidate.
If one of their candidates vacates the ticket after they are nominated, either because of death or withdrawal, the party selects a replacement.
Both the Republican and the Democrat parties have rules in their bylaws governing how to fill the vacancy.
The Party Chair calls a meeting of the National Committee, and the Committee members at the meeting vote to fill the vacancy on the ticket. A candidate must receive a majority of the votes to win the party's nod.
The same process would happen if the vacancy were to occur after the general election but before the Electoral College voting.
If a vacancy should occur on the winning ticket, it would then be the party's responsibility to fill it and provide a candidate for whom their electors could vote.

Yes, anyone who doesn't hate Hillary for selling her country to foreign powers and lying to the American public time and time again, should join her in hell, GFYS.

Why wouldn't they vote for the dead, seeing as how liberals already use the dead for votes.
MAGA MAN
Let's go Brandon!
Didn't this happen before, that a candidate died and still won, and they appointed his wife to sit for him?

Liberals appointed Jean Carnahan to take her husbands Senate seat, after he died 3 weeks before the voting and won the election.
5 have won election to Congress despite being dead. Interestingly enough, ALL were Democrats.
