    There are several (5 or 6) states whose deadlines for ballot access has passed.  I believe they will ignore their laws and allow the changes.

    Those laws are completely wrong, the major parties don't officially nominate a candidate before their National Conventions.

    The Convention was pushed back this year for some reason.  DNC should have made their convention within the state laws....they knew them when they scheduled their convention.

    I looked it up for sure and the news was gaslighting.  Several of the states deadlines for Republicans are in July but all but one for the Dems is in Aug and Sept.

    1. She married Doug when she was 49. A little long in the tooth to be thinking about children, wouldn't you say? A LOT of career women decide that motherhood is not for them.

    2. Completely legal, otherwise Gerald Ford's Presidency was also illegal - he succeeded to tge Oval Office without being elected either as President OR Veep.

    3. Hating plastic straws is a good thing, I hate them too.

    4. She's Veep. Usually the first candidate when the President either dies, resigns, completes 2 terms or decides not to seek re-election.

    2. Is talking about the deadlines of states already being past. And the DNC not having a way for the public to have a voice now. 

    Updated: (July deadlines are for the Republicans) This post was edited by my2cents at July 25, 2024 4:56 PM MDT

    States should not have deadlines earlier than the DNC and RNC. The same laws disqualify Vance from being Veep - hear the crickets?

    They laws did not change.  The laws have been there.  It is up to the parties to schedule accordingly.   

    But just to put your mind at ease.  We have the electoral college.  We vote for electors to vote in the EC.  Those electors will vote who whoever the nominees are whether the name was officially updated or not. 

    We had a candidate for state office who died before election but too late to change the ballots. The gov announced that a vote for the dead politician would be counted and if he won, his daughter would be appointed to the office.   This is what happened by the way.  

    In states that do not change the name, voters will know their electors will vote for Harris IF the Dem win their state.

    There are plenty of reasons why Harris should not be POTUS.

    And I can think of plenty of reasons why I don't think Donald Trump should be POTUS, too.

    EDIT: I already regret posting this. But I'll leave it. And I would do well to avoid this category.


    EDIT: You actually answered the posted question. I did not. And I realize it. Came off of a scattered day. It was only now I actually read the question  -  I was just reading everyone's posts.   Be Well.

    How about he's a convicted felon, for starters? Each of them carries a minimum sentence of a year behind bars, so why isn't he wearing a jumpsuit to match his skin tone?

    Yes but I assume he's immune.  (That'd be a great song title, ha)   :)

    I took it upon myself to delete my response which, among other things, elicited a number of sexist and racist responses. I did not want to be part of that nor did I think those comments belonged on this site. Deleting my post and the comments that follow is the only recourse that I have, since only moderators can delete or edit individual responses.  This post was edited by Jane S at July 25, 2024 1:50 PM MDT

    That's great too! I love the lack of suggestions that a former attorney general only has value because of her skin colour and sex organs!

    Joe Biden is used the terms diversity,  equality and inclusion (DEI) in relation to VP Harris.  Personally,  I think merit should be part of it but that just IMHO.

    Biden: "To me, the values of diversity, equality, inclusion are literally — and this is not kidding — the core strengths of America. That’s why I’m proud to have the most diverse administration in history that taps into the full talents of our country. And it starts at the top with the Vice President."
