"Biden For America" or whatever, is going to hand that money over to the person they pick?

They can't do this. Election law stipulates that money raised by one candidate can't be given to another. The new candidate would have to start from scratch.

There's also the problem of state laws concerning the ballot. Some states have a deadline after which no changes can be made. I believe Georgia's is July 7th. I think that's the earliest, but I could be wrong.

Honestly, the word's been used so much it's an established term by now. Don't think they invented it Legolas - 02/07/2024 08:54:50 PM 201 Views
