Related: About this forumTechnical question: isn't it too late for Trump to drop out?
Are there any states where the ballots could/would be changed in time?
If it's possible for him to drop out and the ballots be changed, then I wish the open mic comments would have been held just a few days longer.

(146,317 posts)Too late to change the ballot and notify all of those voters that they need to vote another time.
It won't happen, and Trump won't drop out, anyhow. His egomania won't let him.

(4,305 posts)There is something suspicious about all this. The GOP refusal to do their duty and vote on the President's Supreme Court nominee is unprecedented and bizarre. Trump's calls for his supporters to use their Second Amendment rights and actively stop some people from voting are also bizarre. What if they plan to screw up this election and fog up this election so much that a handicapped Supreme Court can't solve it, slipping in their trick of jimmying the voting machines, then do more stuff like that fake "Brooks Brothers" protest crowd that turned out to be mostly GOP congressional aides, then throw the election into the gerrymandered House of Representatives and elect whoever the Koch Brothers please? I know they used the Supremes during the Selections of the Bush/Cheney regime. But I read that a Democrat was told by a sneering GOP operative, "We are now the masters of reality. After this, reality is whatever we say it is. And while you are reeling from our new reality, we will change it again." We need to stay vigilant.

This is what I'm told.

(19,957 posts)the GOP would have to go to every state's court and get the name changed. Re already mailed in votes, he said that they were for the State Electors implying that the replacement would get Trump's votes. I don't see how they could claim those votes.
