Biden's Ohio Ballot Status in Jeopardy Due to Legal Deadline Conflict

Ohio law requires presidential candidates to be certified 90 days before the election, but the Democratic National Convention falls after this deadline.

  • Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose confirmed Biden's name might be excluded from the ballot unless the Democratic National Committee acts.
  • The Ohio House adjourned without passing legislation to amend the deadline, leaving no legislative solution available.
  • Governor Mike DeWine expressed confidence that Biden will appear on the ballot, potentially through court intervention.
  • Democratic leaders criticize the legislative inaction, citing partisanship and dysfunction as barriers to resolving the issue.
  • The Biden campaign remains optimistic, asserting that the President will be on the ballot in all 50 states.
