The 2020 Republican convention was held from August 24th to 27th.
That was then, this is now. Not sure how they will sort this out, but Ohio went first, now Alabama.
Too funny.
Maybe states have changed their rules since then?
Alabama has had an 82 day limit since 1975 (in the article). I’d have to look to see if 2020 met that rule, but 2020 has come and gone. My amusement level has gone up after this!
I can’t wait for the Dem convention in Chicago. It’s gonna make ‘68 look like a Sunday school picnic.

Alabama is red. What difference at this point does it make?
As you know, Blacks in Chicago are pissed that the illegal invaders are taking away many of their freebies.
Yep, it could get really rough in Chicago. I hope it gets very ugly.
DNC will have to ask those states to change their rules to accommodate Biden’s nomination. Who has leverage now?
Doesn’t...except, now that 2 states have found that problem, maybe others will as well. Ohio was a big deal.
Irony is ironic.
So has mine!
Good luck getting Ohio to change the dates.
Depends on what the Biden Administration has to offer. Perhaps dropping the cases against Trump? Hmmmm?
The Dems’ reaction to that would be hysterical.
“Alabama is red. What difference at this point does it make?”
Is that you Hillary?
It could make a big difference in down-ticket elections if the “big-draw” is not there.
It’s called payback.

“Maybe states have changed their rules since then?”
Not per the article!
” I’d have to look to see if 2020 met that rule, but 2020 has come and gone.”
Their letter say it was made public only since 2023.
