TL;DR

Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen refuses to accept a provisional certification for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, citing a 49-year-old state law. This could potentially keep them off the general election ballot, echoing a similar situation in 1964 when President Lyndon Johnson was omitted. Democratic officials are confident that legislative action will allow Biden and Harris to appear on the ballot, but concerns about voter disenfranchisement and down-ballot effects persist. Similar issues have arisen in Ohio and Washington, and the matter may ultimately end up before the U.S. Supreme Court.
