If a health crisis were to prevent the Democratic candidate from making it to the election, "The short answer is that a replacement would be chosen according to DNC [Democratic National Committee] bylaws," Ilya Shapiro, director of Cato Institute's Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies, told Just the News. "If after the election, there are other rules."
Should a candidate pass away "in October, a number of states would have already started early voting, including Vermont, where early voting begins 45 days before an election," Vermont Public Radio senior political correspondent Bob Kinzel reported in April. "But it's thought that this really wouldn't be a problem, because voters in November are technically voting for a slate of electors, not a specific candidate. So votes for the candidate who died would be transferred to the party's replacement candidate. However, if this happened, let's say, a week before the election, Congress does have the authority to reschedule the election to allow time for a new candidate to be selected."
>they have been at it since story broke.
Brad and his wife probably received advance notice that a story was going to break. Wife started looking out for herself, saw an opportunity to call the police, before filing for divorce. Just a hunch.
