What happens if a presidential candidate either withdraws his or her candidacy or dies in the closing days of the campaign? I mean, the Republican or Democratic National Committees can determine another nominee (probably the vice president), but most if not all ballots have been printed and early voting begun in some states. Are the votes for the withdrawn candidate counted as votes for the new nominee of this party? If not, the other side would be ensured to win the election, and even if this person only gets less than 45% in a two way race.
