[Pildes, Rick]

With early votes, I'm not sure anything can be done.
With absentees, it would vary by state.

And what happens to the already-cast votes for a candidate who has been replaced?  I imagine not every state has a law that addresses this.

I have published this new piece with the Washington Post laying out what would happen if President Trump were to become incapacitated before the election or after the election but, if he were to win, before inauguration day:  https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/10/02/were-final-stages-presidential-election-what-happens-if-candidate-withdraws-or-dies/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/10/02/were-final-stages-presidential-election-what-happens-if-candidate-withdraws-or-dies/__;!!N5JjT8_g!Oebgw8jrqz0v-O5pWwuTjrPEE0sxcu1phITpRFcV2WP-GntmrtX-WhSZ1pt9Rohtng$>
