Ohio Faces Ballot Certification Crisis for Biden in Upcoming Election
Ohio Republicans resist extending deadline for Democratic convention, risking Biden's appearance on the ballot.
- Ohio law mandates a 90-day pre-election certification for presidential candidates, clashing with the Democratic National Convention's schedule.
- Despite past bipartisan solutions for similar issues, current Republican lawmakers show little interest in accommodating the Democratic Convention's timing.
- Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose's office has highlighted the conflict, offering limited solutions to the Democrats.
- Legal and political challenges complicate efforts to ensure Biden's candidacy on the Ohio ballot, with potential impacts on voter turnout.
- Other states like Alabama and Washington are finding bipartisan solutions to similar ballot certification issues.
