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.

They canâÂÂt ⦠but thatâÂÂs never stopped them before. Sure it will be challenged, but by the time it works through the courts, it will be well past the election.
