1) I spent some time speaking with county elections officials in AZ, OH, and WI.

2) You have to work backward from the date of the EARLY/ABSENTEE ballots being mailed out.

3) Once those go out (around Oct. 7 in most counties---who send them out), ANY change is impossible.

4) By which I mean, if Biden's name is on a ballot that goes out, they cannot get that back. Moreover, per county election official, if Biden is NOT on the ticket, ANY ballot that comes back with his name on it is NOT COUNTED.

5) So anytime after Oct. 7, DemoKKKrats . . .

5) contd . . . risk roughly THIRTY PERCENT OR MORE of their total votes for president being NOT COUNTED. That would give President Trump a 50 state victory in the EC.

6) But wait! You have to keep going backwards. Oct. 7 is when ballots go OUT. But before they go out, . . .

6) contd . . . they must first be PRINTED. This takes at least a week, maybe two depending on the county printer. So we're at Sept. 25-Oct. 1.

7) But wait! Before they can be PRINTED, they must first be APPROVED by all campaigns and candidates for such things as spelling or . .

7) contd . . . or making sure they have the correct person running for the correct office. Now, this proofreading needs to be completed quickly, and usually no more than a week is allowed. That puts us at Sept. 17. (In many counties, the final primary results are considered . . .

7) contd . . . if they occur late in the season. I think AZ has an Aug. primary, for example.

8) But wait! For the candidates/campaigns to approve the ballots, they must first SEE THEM. That requires at least a week to 10 days, or Sept. 8-10.

9) But wait! For the candidates to receive the ballots to proofread and approve, they must first be PRINTED AND MAILED. Now you're around Sept. 1 to Aug. 25.

10) Are you seeing the clock here? They basically have til late Aug to ditch Rutabaga and stand up a new campaign.

11) We're talking THOUSANDS of county offices, tens of thousands of staffers/recruits---because everyone won't automatically just "transfer" from Rutabaga to whomever (esp. Cankles or Harris).

12) We're talking about EVERY DOLLAR RAISED SPECIFICALLY FOR BIDEN CANNOT BE USED FOR ANY OTHER CANDIDATE.

13) Now, certainly PAC money (because it cannot be connected---theoretically---with "a" candidate) could be used for, say, Harris. But not quickly.

14) MONTHS of focus testing of various words and phrases would have gone down the drain. What "worked" (to the extent it did) . .

14) contd . . . with Rutabaga won't necessarily play with Cankles or Harris voters.

15) MILLIONS of dollars in Rutabaga gear, signs, bumper stickers and pre-bought ads would be flushed.

16) Just from a financial and staffing standpoint, trying to stand up a brand new campaign in the period of a couple of months would be suicide.

17) Trump would win, no matter the candidate, by more than 350 EVs. Depending on the candidate (say, Cankles) he might get 400.

18) But what if they 25th Rutabaga or he has an aneurism?

19) HARRIS BECOMES PRESIDENT.

20) Does anyone really think "they" are somehow gonna cheat the first black female president out of the office? The DemoKKKrats already have a "black" problem. This would be Civil War.
