You Republicans object to the Democratic Party’s switch to Harris from Biden at the state degree?
It’s an interesting topic. The Heritage Foundation’s legal team responded to the request in a memo before Biden’s disastrous debate, and they discovered some justifications for the contention that some state ballots would n’t allow any change at the top.

Some states, such as South Carolina and Wisconsin, “do n’t permit candidates to be removed for political reasons, or for reasons other than death.” The memo asserts that” There is the potential for pre-election litigation in some states that would make the process [of dropping Biden ] difficult and perhaps unsuccessful” if Biden were to withdraw.
But, legal experts point out that those condition laws apply to candidates who have already received group confirmation as nominees. Biden does had wrapped up the members but with no formal vote, essentially, the Democrats had no candidate.
Election law doctor Rich Hasen writes that” Joe Biden is not the party’s nomination then, and states typically point to the main party’s nominee as the one whose name is on the ballot.”
If Harris is unable to secure the election, position deadlines could be in order to put a candidate on the ballot. If Democrats did n’t wait until their actual convention, they already planned to hold a virtual roll call vote on August 1 to avoid potential conflicts with Ohio’s deadline, according to University of California, Los Angeles law professor Rick Hasen in a blog post.
Democrats would be wise to continue conducting that online move visit by August 7 if they have rallied around Kamala Harris or another candidate, according to Hasen. That may reduce the possibility of a major lawsuit even slightly.

Associated: Despite Her Great Start, Harris Faces an Uphill Battle
If Republicans attempted to remove Harris from the ballot, they may get urinating in the wind. However, a second problem with the Biden-Harris prank might lead to legal issues.
Who gets the$ 100 million in cash-on-hand in the Biden-Harris campaign fund?
The battle renamed the charity commission the” Kamala Harris Campaign Committee” on Monday. Originally, it had been the Biden-Harris Campaign Committee.  ,
The Federal Election Commission ( FEC ), which was appointed by Trump, suggested that who holds that$ 100 million in campaign funds was a question.
However, campaign funding attorneys have made it clear that the strategy registered itself as the agency’s “principal campaign committee” for both Biden and Harris as a justification for the fact that those funds are also it.
Dara Lindenbaum, one of the six FEC commission, co-signed that discussion Sunday, writing on X that if Harris becomes the Democratic Party’s candidate,” she gets entry” to Biden’s money.
” My guess is there might be some questions or legal wrangling about that”, Derek Muller, a professor at Notre Dame Law School, said,” but I would assume we wo n’t have answers until well after the election”.

By then, the funds will be much spent. If the authorities decide against them, the FEC might be forced to pay it back.
