Top Conservative Think Tank Vows to Make it 'Extraordinarily Difficult' for Dems to Replace Biden By Filing... Lawsuits"

61. Neither I nor the DNC agree with your analysis

The lawyers at the Heritage Foundation have been busy planning a litigation strategy based on and designed to block any attempt to change President Biden as the nominee of the party. The Heritage Foundation does not care about silly attempts at distinction about President Biden not being the official nominee of the party. There will be litigation if the party tries to change candidates which is the subject of this thread.

As for the amendment of the Ohio law, you noted this

As for Ohio, the law is effective on the date it needs to be in order for the Democratic Party to submit its candidate after the convention. There is no leeway for error, however, since it becomes effective on the new due date for the party's nomination: September 1. It is not necessary to hold a remote roll call, but given the tight timing it is certainly not unreasonable.

Luckily the DNC and other lawyers read the Ohio amendment and note that it is not effective until after President Biden would have been excluded from the Ohio ballot. Luckily the DNC has lawyers who read the Ohio amendment and understand the concept of effective date.

A reminder that they did no such thing. The law DeWine signed doesn't go into effect until SEPTEMBER 1ST, 3+ weeks AFTER the current deadline of AUGUST 7TH. So Democrats are right to make sure Biden gets on the ballot by holding an early vote and NOT TRUSTING CORRUPT OHIO REPUBS

I agree with the DNC's attorneys on this issue of statutory interpretation, and I would not trust the Ohio republican party or the Heritage Foundation to accept your interpretation of this law. The DNC's legal counsel is correct in holding a vote before August 7 and I doubt that you will be successful in changing their minds.

Again, this thread is based on the well documented plans of the GOP/RNC/Heritage Foundation to sue and attempt to block any attempt to replace Joe Biden as the nominee of the party. Any discussion of plans to replace President Biden as the nominee needs to take these litigation plans into account and no one cares about silly attempts to make distinctions about when President Biden or another party become the formal nominee of the party
