  If Biden steps down for medical reasons, then they could still allow another candidate after the deadline.
  
  Many states have provisions for replacing candidates in extraordinary circumstances.
  
  Parties could potentially argue for exceptions or emergency measures in court if necessary. As far as I know we have different categories of states:
  
  (1) Flexible states: Some states, like California, Florida, and New York, have relatively flexible laws that allow parties to replace candidates on the ballot in cases of death, severe illness, or withdrawal, often up until very close to the election.
  
  (2) Deadline-oriented states: States like Ohio and Pennsylvania allow replacements, but have specific deadlines after which changing the ballot becomes much more difficult.
  
  (3) Strict states: A few states have very strict rules that make it challenging to replace a candidate after a certain date, regardless of circumstances.
  
  (4) Remaining states:
  
  Many states allow replacement in case of death or incapacitation.
  
  Some explicitly mention "withdrawal" as a valid reason.
  
  The time frame for replacement often extends further than the original filing deadline.

  For example:
  
  (1) Wisconsin allows the replacement of a candidate who has withdrawn or died is typically much closer to the election than the initial filing deadline as late early October. If a vacancy occurs due to death or withdrawal of a candidate, the political party's state committee can generally nominate a replacement.
  
  (2) For Nevada, it's possible that Nevada might make special accommodations or face legal challenges to allow for a replacement, given the national importance of the election. It is a grey area and untested ground. Write in option is not allowed in Nevada.
  
  (3) Michigan allows replacements up to 66 days before the election.
  
  (4) Texas permits changes up to 74 days before the election.
  
  (5) Colorado allows replacements up to 18 days before the election.

  Even in states with strict ballot replacement rules, write-in voting is often an option, though far from ideal for a major party candidate. There will be a lot of pressure on Wisconsin and Nevada with legal battles ahead considering those are flip states and preventing a change in candidate would be problematic on democratic grounds.

  In a nutshell, don't assume this won't happen. If they change late, they can still proceed with the election, even if legal battles are still ongoing. The Democrats could very well use the legal battles in Nevada and Wisconsin to contest the election results. The key here is to remember that in presidential elections, voters are technically choosing electors, not directly voting for candidates, so they could still use the electoral colleage to get a presential election result.

  If Biden was smart he would bow out gracefully. 🤔
