Will this be resolved before the election??? Biden not on the ballot in Ohio yet.... [View all]
Ohio lawmakers on Wednesday failed to advance a plan to put President Joe Biden on the state's November ballot, underscoring bitter divisions among Republicans who control the state Legislature.
The state House and Senate floated separate proposals this week that would change the certification deadline to 74 days before the Nov. 5 election. Under current law, state officials must certify the ballot by Aug. 7 ? 90 days beforehand ? but Biden won't be nominated until the Democratic National Convention 12 days later.
Wednesday ended with no plan to get the president and presumptive Democratic nominee on Ohio's ballot. And the clock is running out: Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose said lawmakers had until Thursday to change the deadline. Bills typically take 90 days to become law unless they have an emergency clause attached to them.
