“Ohio House leaders said Tuesday there will probably not be a legislative solution to getting President Joe Biden on the November ballot in Ohio,” the Columbus Dispatch reports.

“Current law says Ohio officials must certify the ballot on Aug. 7, 90 days before the election, but Biden won’t be nominated until the Democratic National Convention on Aug. 19.”

Despite the lack of a legislative solution, both Ohio leaders said they are confident Biden will be on the ballot in November.

Russo said at this point, she believes the solution will come from within the national Democratic Party or through legal action.

2. It would be good to put it to the SC. I would dare them

to ban the Dem nominee from the ballot in Ohio. Would enrage people.

3. Legislative fix for the immorality of Ohio Republicans unlikely....

4. So the DNC has to run cleanup for a legislative majority of nasty vengeful assholes

Some kind of pro-forma early certification of candidacy seems more likely to succeed than trusting courts to resolve the issue sanely.

Fuck these GOP dipshits who think they're so goddam righteous and just for complicating simple issues with intent to make everyone's lives marginally more annoying and tedious.

5. And sadly this entire mess could have been prevented from ever happening in the first place

by simply scheduling the Democratic convention before any state deadlines. A brain fart that nobody thought would matter.

6. Agreed but states like Ohio

Could just change the deadline. There is NOTHING beneath these motherfuckers.
