"Alabama and Ohio Election Officials Warn Biden of Ballot Deadline Concerns"

Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen notified the Democratic National Convention that they missed the deadline to get Joe Biden on the ballot for the 2020 general election due to a state law change that accommodated the Republican National Convention's schedule. The Alabama Legislature passed a bill to adjust the deadline for the 2020 election, but the current secretary of state stated that he will administer elections in accordance with Alabama law and the provided deadlines.
