Making special accommodations to benefit irresponsible democrat candidates is one of the reasons President Trump is not currently in the White House.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) said Thursday that he is calling a special session of the General Assembly to pass legislation next week to ensure President Biden is on the November ballot for the general election.
“Ohio is running out of time to get Joe Biden, the sitting President of the United States, on the ballot this fall. Failing to do so is simply unacceptable. This is ridiculous. This is (an) absurd situation,” DeWine said, according to the Associated Press.
DeWine's decision came after Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) warned the state Democratic Party on Tuesday that Biden will not be on the ballot in the November election unless the party's nomination date is changed to comply with state law.
The party will officially choose its nominee at the the Democratic National Convention, which is scheduled for Aug. 19-22. However, Ohio's deadline for political parties to certify their nominee is 90 days before the general election, which is Aug. 7 this year.
LaRose mentioned that he had previously told the party that either the Democratic National Committee will have to move its presidential nomination or the Ohio state legislature would pass a remedy. However, the state House of Representatives failed to pass a bill that would have allowed Biden to be on the ballot before the legislative session ended, the Ohio Capital Journal reported.
DeWine said that LaRose told him Thursday that the state is “up against a wall,” and next Wednesday is the final deadline.
“I’ve waited. I’ve been patient. And my patience has run out,” DeWine said.

Well since they are so special how about Biden gets on the ballot but no replacements after that regardless of circumstances. If Biden craters like he has been doing the dims ride him all the way down.
Republicans never get tired of helping democrats win.
“So are Ohio citizens calling the governor’s office to remind him that he is a pathetic, feckless nitwit?”
Most likely not I imagine.

DeWeeny is a POS.
The dems squeal over every and anything they can frame as a slight against them. Them blaming Republicans is always a given regardless of the subject or reality.
The Democrat party should follow the rules. If they want Biden on the ballot they should declare him their nominee in time. Nobody is stopping them.
“that it’s BS to lay blame for Biden’s exclusion on Republicans due to the situation”
Yes, in the legal sense and the “DNC was stupid sense” it was not the GOPs fault.
I just don’t think most of the general public in Ohio are engaged enough or care enough to simply “blame the legislature” in general; as it is a GOP majority and they (most of the public) will let the Dims blame it on the majority.
Pull a Pelosi and deem the measure passed.
Rino helps RAT. What’s new about that?
I thought the Dem Chant was - No one is above the Law?
What happened?
Just like the DOJ questioning of Biden
Has anyone seen the mugshot of Hunter? That’s because they’re refusing to release it.
Attach the legislation he vetoed regarding transgenders competing in sports and the ban on genital mutilation of minors to “fix” the dems screw up. See what the Rino does then.

Curious if RFK Jr makes it on the Ohio ballot and Biden does not. What the polling matchup would look like for a RFK vs Trump situation.
Maybe Biden figures he can’t win it straight off and has a better chance denying it for Trump with RFK Jr
FU midget Governor. You’re the same dick that panicked and locked down your state during the Chinese flu scam.
By the way, go get a pair of glasses that actually fit your face, you look like a goof.
What lawfare? The Dems knew the Ohio cut off date when they decided what date to hold their nomination.
He’s taking the high road. The problem is that the high road may be the highway to hell. Democrats need to be fought on the terms they established and that means NO charitable behavior toward them.
“What lawfare? The Dems knew the Ohio cut off date when they decided what date to hold their nomination.”
I am not saying the current situation reprsents lawfare.
I am saying I do not think the general public or most voters will make the legal distinction. They will lump it all together as “just politics”.
I’m surprised that a lame duck governor wants to help the other side.
RINOs gotta RINO.
