Will GD-P become GD-E after a nominee is determined?

Or will General Discussion become the default home of all General Election threads? Sorry, but I don't recollect how this worked in previous years.

which include some changes. It may not be exactly like it has been in the past. I imagine we'll find out before too much time passes. I'm sure they're trying to find a good way to go with the site once a nominee is clearly known.

It won't necessarily be how it was in 2008, though. DU2 was still the site back then. I think changes will be made.
