[EL] President Trump, the Virus, and the Election

[Goldfeder, Jerry H.]

But of course those who vote early in person cannot change their vote.

Apparently 7 states do allow voters to change their absentee ballots, but of course only one vote will count. Those states are Wisconsin; Minnesota; Michigan; Pennsylvania; New York; Connecticut; and Mississippi.

CAUTION: External Sender


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:/nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https*3A*2F*2Furldefense.com*2Fv3*2F__https*3A*2Fwww.washingtonpost.com*2Fpolitics*2F2020*2F10*2F02*2Fwere-final-stages-presidential-election-what-happens-if-candidate-withdraws-or-dies*2F__*3B!!N5JjT8_g!Oebgw8jrqz0v-O5pWwuTjrPEE0sxcu1phITpRFcV2WP-GntmrtX-WhSZ1pt9Rohtng*24&data=02*7C01*7Cjoshuadouglas*40uky.edu*7C7d44ce5a3fe843fcf69608d866dc5395*7C2b30530b69b64457b818481cb53d42ae*7C0*7C0*7C637372443767471357&sdata=87d0G52bDBTuWekKBED8T0juATzHxZUdYEDXikRO7ss*3D&reserved=0__;JSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUl!!N5JjT8_g!Or69wXaXZSDvKbSWKFm01nXIouY3Iifod3F1xEHy-kIcU58I-RBSIZMHEjJANX12Ug$>
