(It could in theory be anybody because -- and this is also controversial, but true -- a party is a private organization and the party committee can make their nominee be anyone they want, and the whole democratic primary system is something they voluntarily choose to abide by)

(However in practice it would almost certainly be Harris because that's the "logical" choice that would piss the fewest people off Although given the state of the Democratic electorate I'm sure a lot of people would argue it should be the primary runner-up and not the VP pick)

Yeah, this was the *actual* original purpose of the electoral college. As sudden, expected death was a lot more common, and a lot could happen in the time it took for votes to be counted and sent by horseback to the capital

Electors can simply choose who seemed the logical next choice for the ppl they're supposed to represent, so votes cast for a candidate that died while on the ballots could still sort of be counted instead of being wasted It's the only scenerio the electoral college is good for
