Ohio Republicans Refuse Legislative Fix to Include Biden on November Ballot

Ohio's Republican-controlled Legislature has stated that they will not pass special legislation to allow President Joe Biden to be on November's general election ballot, despite the state's strict deadlines for certifying presidential candidates. Pressure has mounted for Ohio lawmakers to amend the law, but previous attempts failed due to unrelated amendments and lack of Democratic support. While Ohio isn't the only state with such a rule, there is still a possibility for Biden to appear on Ohio's ballot through an administrative change by the Democratic National Committee before the Aug. 7 deadline.
