46th Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris

49th

I stand ( extremely happily..glass in hand..toasting the winners ) corrected :) ..
( One ( I ) would have thought, that a 46th President..would have a 46th Vice President ..but there is much illogical / confusing / strange ( electoral college being more important than the actual voting numbers for each candidate(s) ) about US elections )

One ( I ) would have thought, that a 46th President..would have a 46th Vice President

some presidents ran for more than one term and got reelected with another vice president.
grover cleveland was 22nd president with one vice president and was defeated after one term.
he ran again and became 24th president with another vice president.

Vice President-Elect

there were more than 49 VPs.
for example, richard nixon's vice president spiro agnew resigned and gerald ford was appointed to replace him.
ford became the first unelected president after nixon's resignation and sitting new york state governor nelson rockefeller resigned and was appointed vice president.

Wait, I lost count... will that make Biden the 46th President and 46th VP?

It would admittedly be more fun if there had been, in total, fewer vice presidents than presidents. I suppose it could happen on the State level, when governor and lieutenant governor are separately elected. “Nah, I’m good where I am, let someone else do the hard part.”

i was confused here.
kamala harris will be the 49th VP.

what i meant to convey was while biden will be the 46th president he will only be the 41st president-elect.
tyler, fillmore, andrew johnson, arthur, and ford were all VPs that completed an elected president's term.

will that make Biden the 46th President and 46th VP?

46th and 47th

Counting seems to be a central issue in this election :)

this election

every election

Bit premature. Waiting to see the CERTIFIED results.

Reminding all Yogi Bera had it right ...

[phranque]

California has up to 32 days (december 5th) and West Virginia has up to 30 days after the election to certify by the state.
for state-by-state details, see the "Certification Deadlines" tab near the bottom:
After the Voting Ends: The Steps to Complete an Election [ncsl.org]

the Electoral College votes the first monday after the second wednesday in december, so it's december 14th this election cycle.

Waiting to see

A timely reminder, to be sure.
