We've covered this before, but it's come up again. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose wrote a letter to the Democratic Party in April warning them that by nominating Joe Biden at their late-August convention in Chicago, they'd be missing the state's August 7 ballot deadline. Biden faces a similar dilemma in Alabama. You'd think the DNC could move up its convention by a couple of weeks, but Las Rose warned that as it stands today, Biden will not appear on the November ballot.

I’ve said from here to Colorado that it’s in the best interest of voters to have a choice in the race for president. I’m also duty-bound to follow the law as Ohio’s chief elections officer.

As it stands today, the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee will not be on the Ohio ballot. That is not my choice. It’s due to a conflict in the law created by the party, and the party has so far offered no legally acceptable remedy.
The Ohio House speaker said today there won’t be a legislative solution, so I’ve sent a letter to @OHDems chair seeking (again) a solution that upholds the law and respects the voters. I trust they’ll act quickly.
We don't trust them to do anything.
🚨 JUST IN: Joe Biden will NOT appear on the Ohio ballot in November as of right now, according to the Ohio Secretary of State

The Democratic Party has refused to follow state law requiring both parties to officially nominate their presidents 90 days before an election. Democrats aren’t doing that until 75 days prior.
And now, since the legislature has adjourned, the law cannot be changed, and Secretary of State Frank LaRose cannot make an exception.
This oughta be interesting!

😂🤣 So it’s the Dems own fault?
After what they did with trying to prevent Trump being on the ballot, this is priceless.

It’s 100% their own fault. They think they’re above the law, as always.

I’m pretty sure Democrats are panicking and trying to find a substitution for Biden behind the scenes.
Unless they’re trying to throw the whole election.
Ya never know.

They’re definitely setting this whole thing up to potentially swap Biden out at the last second.
That’s why the debates are so early.

They are going to trade him out after the debate.

I don’t think they’ll have a choice. He’s going to get absolutely annihilated by Trump in front of 100 million people.

They either have to nominate him before the convention or sue to get him on the ballot. Those are their only choices here. What a hot mess the Dems are.

This is a brilliant play.
It will force the Dems to make a decision now, and possibly get them infighting over what to do.
I suspect they are not unified behind closed doors.

If it's any consolation, they weren't going to win Ohio anyway.

What kind of game is the DNC playing?

That's because theyre going to pull him. That's why they're stalling

I’m sure they’ll “fix” it somehow.

We're pretty sure that Biden's name will end up on the Ohio ballot. We don't know how, but the Democrats will make it happen.
Mike DeWine is suggesting Biden could end up on the Ohio ballot due to court intervention.
The law is the law. What justification would a court have for putting Biden on the ballot in conflict with it?
