Filing deadlines, how do they work?
While Democrats have been doing just about every nefarious thing possible to keep Donald Trump off the ballot in some states, Presidentish Joe Biden's campaign is having trouble following the established law to get their man on the ballot in Ohio.
According to a report in Sunday's Washington Post, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose's office has informed "Ohio Democratic Party Chair Liz Walters that the Democratic National Committee’s nominating convention is scheduled too late for Biden to make the Ohio ballot."
The law requires nominees to be certified at least 90 days before the general election, and Biden won't become the official nominee until the Democrats hold their convention in Chicago — less than 90 days before the general election. Biden will miss the deadline by 12 days.
Maybe you think I'm making this up because it seems too strange to be real. I mean, Democrats eat, breathe, and sleep the nuts and bolts of elections — how did they forget a little thing like making sure they'd crossed the T's and dotted the I's to get Biden's name on the ballot in one of the biggest states in the country?
The Dems have 2 options, neither of which seems appealing.
1. Move their convention up two weeks. A logistical nightmare.
2. Have the Ohio Legislature pass an exemption. With GOP control, how likely is that? They’ll tell Biden to pound sand.

Nobody is moving the convention. Doing so is beyond a logistical nightmare; it's virtually impossible. It's just a big, steaming bowl of Not Gonna Happen.

You mean a train derailment that has caused death hasn’t done damage?
Lease they’ll get an exemption. No way they won’t be on the ballot
Nothing a little vote fraud can’t fix 😉
Option 3 - go to a friendly judge and have the 90 day limit thrown out.

so, a judge can now override the law instead of follow it?Who voted the judge to be the legislator?
The rules don’t apply to Brandon. He’s in.

Yes, Republican politicians have, for most of them, no clue as to how much of a threat the democrat party is to America...bastards sell out the American people all the time.
They can change the party rules to have a quiet mini convention 2 weeks earlier just to count the votes, then go through the pomp circumstance event in Chicago just for show later.
Excuse to move the convention out of Chicago to California.
Becoming more solid red like Florida. I think we can thank Trump and JD Vance for leading. Now if only we can take out Sherrod Brown. Incumbency is a bitch.
A judge or a 3-judge panel will waive the rules.
There have been a LOT of activist judges of late.
“If I had to guess, some kind of deal will get struck”
Probably involving a horse head.
“so, a judge can now override the law instead of follow it?”
Have you been in a coma for four years?
Republicans will fold. They always do. Although the alternative - Potato Joe left off the Ohio ballot - would be entertaining in the extreme.
They'll have no trouble finding a judge who will put Biden on the ballot. This has happened before (Ron Coleman? Not sure).
quick!! another bat-virus!!
