If they held an e******n and nobody showed up to v**e?

Zero v**es for any candidate. What then?

I always tell Democrats that they won't have to wait at all if they v**e in the special Democrat only courtesy day on Wednesday. Just come to the polling place the next day. Easy.

Because of the way the system is set up, the e*******l college would v**e the way they "feel" their state would v**e. Historically the v**e would be cast in favor of the incumbent when v**er turn out has been low. So, it all depends on the frame of mind of that E*****r. And also depends on absentee b****ts (and also on the dead, visitors that freshly crawled across the border, and how many times in different states they v**ed) on how they cast their b****ts.

As a reminder of how these individual secure the job. It is actually a two phase process. The first part of the process is controlled by the political parties in each state and varies from state to state. Generally, the parties either nominate slates of potential E*****rs at their state party conventions or they chose them by a v**e of the party's central committee. This happens in each state for each party by wh**ever rules the state party and (sometimes) the national party have for the process. This first part of the process results in each P**********l candidate having their own unique slate of potential E*****rs.

Political parties often choose E*****rs for the slate to recognize their service and dedication to that political party. They may be state elected officials, state party leaders, or people in the state who have a personal or political affiliation with their party's P**********l candidate.

The second part of the process happens on E******n Day. When the v**ers in each state cast v**es for the P**********l candidate of their choice they are v****g to select their state's E*****rs. The potential E*****rs' names may or may not appear on the b****t below the name of the P**********l candidates, depending on e******n procedures and b****t formats in each state.

The winning P**********l candidate's slate of potential E*****rs are appointed as the state's E*****rs—except in Nebraska and Maine, which have proportional distribution of the E*****rs. In Nebraska and Maine, the state winner receives two E*****rs and the winner of each congressional district (who may be the same as the overall winner or a different candidate) receives one E*****r. This system permits the E*****rs from Nebraska and Maine to be awarded to more than one candidate.

So, folks if you need a reason to v**e in minor e******ns.... this ought to do it!
