Heritage Foundation Vows to Make ‘Extraordinarily Difficult’ to Replace Biden on the Ballot

Sean Moran 3 Jul 2024

The Heritage Foundation vowed Wednesday to make it “extraordinarily difficult” for Democrats to replace President Joe Biden on the ballot.

“If the Biden family decides that President Biden will not run for re-election, the mechanisms for replacing him on ballots vary by state. There is the potential for pre-election litigation in some states that would make the process difficult and perhaps unsuccessful,” Heritage Oversight Project stated in a memo that was compiled in April and released last week ahead of President Joe Biden’s “disastrous” debate performance.

Heritage Oversight Project Executive Director Mike Howell, who authored the memo, said that replacing Biden would be “extraordinarily difficult” and that they would ensure it would make it “extraordinarily difficult” to replace the 46th president on the 2024 ticket.

One in three Democrats believe Biden should exit the race, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Some Democrats, such as Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), have called on Biden to withdraw, while others, such as Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp (D-WA), said that Biden is “going to lose to Trump” after his performance during last week’s debate.

Zack Smith, a senior legal fellow at the conservative think tank, said, “The problem that any potential replacement for Joe Biden would likely run into is that in many states, including in several key states, the deadline for getting on the ballot has already passed. Or in many states, the process for replacing a candidate currently on the ballot just isn’t clearly defined because it happens so rarely.”

The Heritage memo noted Wisconsin, Nevada, and Georgia are potential states that could be used to block replacing Biden on the ticket.

“And then what state that we’re looking at now that matches up to be the right one, going in there and working with the right people,” Howell explained.

A source close to former President Donald Trump said, “We definitely want the dementia patient. They made their bed; they get to sleep in it. But we also love the chaos of their public decision-making process.”

Like they made it difficult for the Democrats to ignore election laws in the 2020 election??? Sending ballots to everyone without the legislature making any law to do so??? Even counting ballots after election day??? Not checking signatures as required by law???

"The Heritage memo noted Wisconsin, Nevada, and Georgia are potential states that could be used to block replacing Biden on the ticket."

OK.
But really... so what?

Remember, in the presidential election, one votes for a "slate of electors" for a candidate -- rather than "the candidate himself".

Let's suppose that josh shapiro replaces ol' joe to become the actual dem-communist candidate for president.

Let's also suppose that shapiro couldn't get his electors on the ballot, and ol' white joe's electors are listed instead.

Voters who want shapiro can be told to vote for the electors for biden.
Those who are too dumb to actually be able to do this shouldn't be voting anyway.

If enough voters do this to actually win (over Mr. Trump), then the election is won BY ELECTORS who were originally chosen for biden -- but who can switch their votes if necessary when the Electoral College convenes.

In Wisconsin -- where the dem-communist candidate could win -- it would then be up to the state legislature to intervene and permit this (I'll guess this depends on state law governing the assignment of electors in a presidential election).

Remember, the Constitution grants the states considerable discretion in how electors are chosen. Something can and WILL be worked out.

In a state like Georgia -- where Mr. Trump might win -- it won't matter much. The slate of electors for Mr. Trump will win, ending the role of electors for ol' white joe right then and there.

Folks, gonna say it again:
This brouhaha about "not being on the ballot" is nothin more than a smokescreen, a political "McGuffin" designed to confuse you -- that's all.
