@djc That might work out! I mean, both Biden and Trump are absurdly unpopular candidates that only America's weird electoral institutions would have set up for a run-off. A kind of random quasidemocratic process might well do better! But it also might prove terrible. It would be wiser to prefer a better-managed and substantively more democratically legit process (the winner of the public election chooses his emergency successor), if that remains possible. /fin
