On What Grounds could a Presidential election be voided?

[Sundance508]

We see talk already of letting Homeland Security take over the election process....the problem with the feds is if you give them a inch they will take a mile.

Anyhow...........
The presidential election could be delayed or scrapped altogether if a candidate dies or drops out before Nov. 8. The perhaps equally startling alternative, if there's enough time: Small groups of people hand-picking a replacement pursuant to obscure party rules.

The scenarios have been seriously considered by few outside of the legal community and likely are too morbid for polite discussion in politically mixed company. But prominent law professors have pondered the effects and possible ways to address a late-date vacancy.

"There's nothing in the Constitution which requires a popular election for the electors serving in the Electoral College," says John Nagle, a law professor at the University of Notre Dame, meaning the body that officially elects presidents could convene without the general public voting.'

Well Trump's thinking of going to Mexico soon. No way he'll make it out. So maybe we'll find out.

Why would it be delayed or scrapped due to a candidate's death? It would fall to their party to field another candidate.

Remember Torricelli in New Jersey? While the process the Democrats used was illegal, they still got a candidate (Lautenberg) in there quickly.

It's not a question of what Congress might do.

It's tomorrow so you won't have long to wait.

Claim to be mistaken
Exercising hyperbole
Because you know you are wrong.

And your point is? I guess another far out--deeply thought out--Reich wing conspiracy theory. Of course Homeland security wouldn't take charge of the electoral process idiot.
