This happened in Missouri in 2000 for a senate seat. The governor appointed his widow to the senate seat which she lost the special election shortly afterwards.
Comment on If Trump and Biden both died today, what would happen?
CrazyEddie041@kbin.social 5 months agoYou forgot the part where millions of people still write in Donald Trump based on the widespread conspiracy that he's still alive, and we get to figure out what happens when a state tries to elect a dead man.

This would mean nothing because the electoral college exists. Likely all the red states would opt for the Republican candidate and blue for the Democratic candidate.

Disagree. I fully support this conspiracy theory and I am quite certain the GOP would do it if they had the chance. It’s better than running ads for a 3rd party candidate to splitthe vote. Just get on #chan and speculate or report sightings of him.
