What happens to the election if Biden dies before it?
- With considerable time til the election
- Not enough time to change the election
Assuming Biden wins on election day, what is the procedure at various stages throughout the election if Biden dies?
- After election day but before votes are counted
- Votes counted but not certified by Congress
- Certified but not inaugurated
- Any other stages I’ve missed
Again, this depends on the state. In some states it’s a fine. In others it’s a misdemeanor and can carry jail time. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faithless_elector.
What a useless deterrent
