    beccalunch There was a good thread in /r/law about it. Since some have already voted it's too late for Rs to change ballots like would usually happen. Electors likely choose vote Trump/Pence which means Pence becomes Acting Pres and has to get a new VP approved in Congress.

      beccalunch Interesting wrinkle is that electors could conceivably vote in Pence as Pres with a new VP to avoid having to get Congressional approval for the new VP. A SCOTUS case this year allows states to punish "faithless" electors but doesn't precent them from being faithless afaik.

        beccalunch NYT did a good article covering some interesting bits, especially the weird nuances of Pres vs Acting Pres and incapacitated vs no longer in office. news.google.com/articles/CAIiEDI8FMuT8c2Yla8f1t6-3ekqGAgEKg8IACoHCAowjuuKAzCWrzwwjd3pBg?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen
