Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is looking into electoral law in Massachusetts in the event Elizabeth Warren, the state's senior senator, is tapped to be the Democratic vice presidential nominee.
The Boston Globe reports Reid, who previously stated his opposition to having vice presidential candidates coming from states with Republican governors lest they be replaced by a Republican appointee, has looked specifically at ways for Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker – a Republican – to not be able to appoint a successor to Warren should she be selected.
The newspaper notes Reid has not explored election law in other states where such a scenario could play out, like New Jersey or Ohio.
