If death occurs before then a party faction may choose a substitute, potentially Reagan or Rockefeller for the GOP or Brown Udall or Scoop Jackson for Democrats, while after Dec 13 the vice president elect would be sworn in.

Carter and Ford to Attend Al Smith Dinner in NYC
Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford plan separate appearances at the Al Smith Dinner in New York City tonight. Both will attend briefly but keep apart to avoid meetings as they prepare for tomorrow’s Williamsburg debate. Ford tailors a late arrival and short stay. Carter arrives around 9 p.m. for about an hour. The event honors former New York governor Alfred E. Smith, a Catholic presidential candidate, and is seen as essential for Catholic votes. Both campaigns focus on abortion stances and campaign events with running mates Mondale and Dole.
