Well, it’s an interesting problem. The Electors meet sometime in December if memory serves me right. Say Obama’s plane crashes and he’s dead. Who do the Electors vote for? Can they vote for a dead person? Can a dead person be sworn in on Jan. 20th. They could elect Hillary for example. Can you imagine the lobbying, threats and bribes that would be in play? And the political crisis on top of the economic one?
