No one dare bring up the question. It is unthinkable. However, here I am bringing it up. Most, almost all consider it improper to to bring the subject up and yet here I go. I just might catch a bunch of flack for it but one must admit, it is possible though not likely. I mean, timing can be everything, right.

What if Old Joe again carries the pennant into battle and it becomes Old Joe vs Trump again. Then, let’s say, two weeks before the election, Old Joe has a massive stroke. Maybe he dies from it. Or, maybe he is just incapacitated.

Old Joe’s name is on the ballot, well not quite. It doesn’t really work that way. We here in the state select electors and the electors vote vote for the president. However, in a situation like this, who are the electors going to vote for. If selected by the state, surely the Democrat electors would vote democrat, but for whom? Some might vote for one, others for others. Still others might chose someone else. Nothing but nothing that I know of specifies who the electors will vote for.

You talk about panic. Worse yet, some of the votes of individuals might already be cast for Old Joe during early voting. Just how would that be handled.

On the other hand, maybe it’s not a massive stroke. Maybe it is just a little one and Old Joe won’t release his electors.

Sorry for bringing it up. I don’t know if such an emergency was ever thought of, simply because it would be improper to think of such things. I mean it is possible, though not probable that Old Joe could die the day before election day. The what do the dems do. It is conceivable they could win the vote and lose the election. All it would take would be five or six electors to change things. Some of these elections these days are pretty close.

I wish I could come up with a suggestion to cover such a thing. I don’t think anyone is listening to me anyway. However, if they came and asked me, I would have no idea as to what to tell them.

Regardless, just maybe someone ought to give it a little thought.
