How much longer is this guy gonna last...?
Finally, if the nominee was incapacitated after Election Day, a lot might depend on whether he is considered the “president-elect.†If he is, it’s actually pretty straightforward — the 20th Amendment says the vice president-elect shall become president. But if it all happened before the Electoral College votes on Dec. 14 or even before Congress counts the electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021, it’s not clear what would happen next, as he might not be considered the president-elect. There is one instance of this happening — in 1872, Horace Greeley died on Nov. 29, just before the Electoral College’s Dec. 4 gathering and most of his 66 electoral votes were split among four alternate candidates (including Greeley’s vice presidential nominee, Benjamin Gratz Brown), but this example is largely academic, too, as Greeley had already lost to Republican President Ulysses S. Grant.
That has all been "doctored" by those evil Republicans. St. Joseph of Delaware is perfectly lucid, sharp as a tack and not in cognitive decline. Republicans are just playing dirty tricks! (Pure sarcasm)
