"Republicans Accuse Democrats of Election Law Exceptions, Warn of Biden Ballot Exclusion"

Republican secretaries of state in Alabama and Ohio are warning that President Joe Biden might not be placed on their general election ballots due to the Democratic Party’s late-August convention falling after state ballot deadlines. The Biden campaign is confident he will be on every state’s presidential ballot, pointing to past instances where similar issues were resolved without controversy. Both parties may find themselves bumping up against these deadlines again, and Democrats in Alabama and Ohio are exploring legislative and legal options to ensure Biden's ballot access.
