    A. No need for name calling

    B. It says there might be lawsuits and contests, not that the GOP has to allow it to happen. From the article:

    It is possible for parties and election authorities to change or work around these deadlines. For instance, in 2020, the Republican National Convention took place after the deadlines in Alabama and Ohio. In Ohio, the state legislature passed a law to change the deadline that cycle so it took place after the Republican National Convention, and in Alabama, the state’s election authority accepted a placeholder letter from the RNC that said the party would certify a nominee once the official nomination took place.

    It is also possible that changing the Democratic nominee could draw lawsuits related to ballot access. On June 21, 2024, the Heritage Foundation said it would file lawsuits in Georgia, Nevada, and Wisconsin if Democrats nominated someone other than Biden.
