Efforts to put Joe Biden on the Ohio ballot stall [View all]
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – President Joe Biden will not be on Ohio’s ballot come November as things currently stand.
State law dictates filing deadlines for candidates, but the timing of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) this fall, where Biden will be officially nominated, takes place after Ohio’s deadline, which is currently 90 days before the election.
According to Secretary of State Frank LaRose, lawmakers had until Thursday to pass something that could be signed into law, also on Thursday, to make the fix. Efforts to do that failed.
“We didn’t have a consensus on how to get that done between the House and the Senate and all parties involved,” Speaker of the Ohio House Jason Stephens (R-Kitts Hill) said.
