I’m not marking my calendar just yet, Jay. Remember the 12th Amendment: in the event that a president-elect is unable to take office, the vice-president-elect shall be sworn in as (full) President (and presumably the 25th Amendment would then be invoked to fill the VP vacancy). Unless Her Nibs is the VP candidate, she gains nothing from anything untoward occurring.
Yes, we could make the “faithless elector” argument, but that could happen anyway.
