Ohio’s 90-Day Deadline May Keep Biden Off the Ballot

Ohio’s 90-Day Deadline May Keep Biden Off the Ballot

A legal technicality in Ohio may prevent President Biden from being on the November ballot, as the state requires parties to confirm their presidential candidates 90 days before the election, which is August 7th. But President Biden will not be the official Democratic nominee until the Democratic National Convention, which is on August 19th. Senate and House Minority Leaders Nickie Antonio and Allison Russo were seemingly unaware of this, and plenty of other lawmakers on each side of the aisle also didn’t know. Secretary of State Frank LaRose didn’t remind the Democrats until April, but they remain positive. Case Western Reserve University constitutional law professor Jonathan Entin said that in most other states, this would be an easy fix. “The obvious solution is for the legislature to get rid of the 90-day deadline,” Entin said. However, the Republican supermajority in Ohio is fractured and has significant infighting, making it unlikely that they will pass an emergency bill to help the Democrats.

The Republican-controlled legislature could pass an emergency bill to waive the deadline, but there is uncertainty about their willingness to help the Democrats.
