DNC to nominate Biden and Harris to bypass Ohio ballot issues
ABC News ^ | May 28, 2024 | Isabella Murray

The Democratic National Committee will move to conduct virtual party proceedings to certify President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party nominees before Ohio's Aug. 7 ballot certification deadline, and before their in-person convention beginning Aug. 19, the party confirmed to ABC News on Tuesday.

This will take a big moment away from Biden and the party -- the official nomination at convention is typically met with fanfare and celebration, but he will become the official nominee virtually, without the pomp and circumstance.

I hope that’s true but it seems too easy.

Oh no. This is sooooooo disappointing!

I was hoping Biden could deliver a sequel to his now famous Corn Pop/Hairy Legs speech at the DNC convention.

Okay, I see this is a good hedge in case Ohio doesn’t make an exception, which I think they will. But what then happens between now and the convention if they get cold feet over Biden?

Aren’t they just subsets of the Democrat Party?

Well let’s recap: rats unconstitutionally tried to kick Trump off ballots across the country. I don’t recall any rat leaders speaking out against that. Then, per their own stupidity, they faced Biden being excluded in Ohio, and the Republican governor was falling all over himself to help Biden out.

These stupid bastards never learn

Interesting because it does foreclose on any late-breaking option. As for the convention, they may as well make it virtual too, and avoid the street riots.

How can they legally do that when the State Legislatures are the only ones who can create election law. Wouldn’t the DNC’s certifying Biden and Harris themselves be a violation of State election laws as they are currently written?

Told everyone.

There was not going to be a “switcheroo” with Big Mike.

Rutabaga IS the nominee. He IS the loser.

There won’t be a steal. They all know this. Just read their latest ramblings.

I need new conspiracy theories...

How about it eliminates the participation of the electorate?

And then there is this

By this action, the dnc will also remove their chances to remove/replace/assassinate one or the other to allow Gavin Newsome to be on the ticket. Yes, they can still swap - and probably will do so. But this changes their timeliness.

Yep, fascists and commies have a history of eliminating the votes of the people when it comes to stealing elections.

Biden’s acceptence speech will be prerecorded and heavily edited to the point of being jerky. Kamala’s acceptance speech will need subtitles and a team of sign language interpreters.

“Kamala’s acceptance speech will need subtitles and a team of sign language interpreters.”

they’ll also need to run it through a special audio filter programmed to remove cackling ...
