Ohio legislative leaders say Biden ballot fix won't happen through lawmakers

[RandySF]

Ohio lawmakers are confident President Joe Biden will be on the November ballot, but how exactly that will happen remains the question. The fix won’t happen through the legislature, said Ohio House Speaker Jason Stephens, R-Kitts Hill, and Ohio House Minority Leader Allison Russo, D-Upper Arlington, during separate gaggles Tuesday morning.

“There’s just not the will to do that from the legislature,” Stephens said.

Russo said she was skeptical the fix was ever going to happen in the legislature.

“We’ve seen the dysfunction here in this place,” she said. “And I think we’ve seen that folks have not been able to put aside partisanship and hyper-partisanship and infighting. … I think at this point, you’re probably going to see either, you know, some sort of inner party effects or perhaps court action.”

1. Expecting that Republicans will ever do the right thing,

even if they have done it in the past is foolish.

So, will Biden be on the ballot in Ohio? I sure hope so, but who knows at this point.

2. I'm sure SCOTUS will rectify the situation!

Just the other day they said Trump wasn't an insurrectionist in Colorado so states cannot go kicking him off the ballot.

It's the American way, fair and just and righteous.
