When is the DROP DEAD date, exactly, for the GOP to replace Maes ?

The SOS posted a non-answer to Ryan Call about vacancy boards and replacing candidates.

This specifically doesn’t answer a question about residency requirements.

I’m asking about the Calendar:

what is the last date that Dan Maes could drop out and the GOP vacancy Committee could appoint a replacement ?

Obviously, from the calendar, ballots must be printed by 1 October.  That’s too late.

3 September is too late, because that’s the last day for the Secretary of State to send notice and certification of the General Election ballot to the

county clerks. (No later than 57 days before the General Election)

Could it be Tuesday, 24 August ?

That’s the last day for a write-in candidate to file an Affidavit of Intent for the General Election. (By the close of business on the 70th day before the General Election)

For some reason, I thought the last day was next Tuesday, 17 August, but I can’t find that written anywhere.  

DO I THINK ITS GOING TO HAPPEN ?

Yeah, that’s not what I’m getting at.  I just want to pin down the last possible date for the GOP to pull a switcheroo.
