What if there was an election for president and nobody ran for office?
Ksemler
That wouldn't happen...but if no one ran for President and VP, then the Speaker of the House, then President Pro Tempore, and then Secretary of State. It all depends on the order of succession.

∙ 11y agoI think you mean to ask, what if the turn-out is very light in the 2012 election.
The people who vote decide the election. If the turn-out is light, it is possible that a minority view will prevail and a relatively unpopular candidate will win. Political parties do not want hear that their candidate is heavily favored because people may not come out to vote if they think their candidate will win without their vote.
