  3. Ohio mattering in elections at all is getting old. Get your shit together people.

  5. Please do. Not only would that ensure Biden’s win, it would probably impact races down ballot as well and have the entire state go Blue.

  9. I like how he’s trying to act as if his hands are tied and that this isn’t political by declaring this…. checking calendar….2 1/2 months before the legal deadline. There’s just NO way a resolution can happen in that timeframe so he’s just going to be off the ballot now.

  11. Didn’t SCOTUS just rule 2 months ago ,in a case in CO, that states can’t keep presidential candidates off the ballot?

  12. Summed up, the democratic convention is after the certification deadline, but:

    Ohio, an increasingly Republican state, passed temporary extensions to its certification deadline for [President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney in 2012](https://legiscan.com/OH/bill/HB509/2011) Ohio, an increasingly Republican state, passed temporary extensions to its certification deadline for [President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney in 2012](https://legiscan.com/OH/bill/HB509/2011) and for President Donald J. Trump in 2020.

  13. MMW Biden will be on the ballot here in Ohio but not before wasting a ton of time, tax payer money and bullshit first.

    Wake up Ohio, these people do not have our interests, freedoms and democracy at heart.

  14. Thank goodness the Supreme Court ruled that’s states can’t do this…can’t wait to watch the Supreme Court overturn their own ruling and uphold that OH can exclude a candidate.

  15. I thought the supreme court said states didn’t have that right!

  16. If this goes through, Ohio Democrats needs to take to the streets.

  17. Kind of assuming that if the election is a wash because of unfair practices, the current president would stay in power until a fair election could be held. Good job Ohio!

  18. How the fuck isn’t the DOJ getting involved in this. JFC

  20. Let’s just have an electronic vote and be done with the whole right wing party as a result

  21. Aw someone’s a little butthurt that their daddy is tied up in an oh-so-fweezing courtroom

  23. On one side, these parties act like they are above the law. “We’ll have our convention when we want, they’ll have to make an exception for us.”

    On the other side, the states have always made the exceptions for the political parties.

  24. That’s not gonna work. But good job alienating the middle.

  26. I’m so tired of these people acting like 4 year olds. Let’s get some adults in the room. 

  27. Yeah get ready to fight. If Biden wins the count they’ll pull all sorts of shit. They’re pulling it now before the vote.

    You’ll need to vote to make sure that one doesn’t go south, then fight once they try to take it. That might be through the EC and SCOTUS, doesn’t matter, you’ll have to fight it. They’ll try to, they’ve made that clear now.

    It’s insane. This *should* be a lunatic position to hold, but it’s reality.

  28. Stupid ohio law, but is there a reason to delay the DNC candidate choice the extra 20 days?

  30. According to the Supreme Court, they can’t do that. Unless I’m mistaken and that only applies to Trump.

  31. Reason 123459573739020487483929210926474893 to never vote Republican.

  33. This has been part of their plan all along. Get appointed elected to positions to oversee elections. Then rig it anyway they can.

  34. Didn’t the Supreme Court just rule on something like this? They cannot keep Biden off the ballot.

  35. I’m so sick of these time wasting buffoons. This is our tax dollars at work. What a huge waste.

  36. Once again, Conservatives are ruining this country and cheating their way through life. There is no way this is allowed, and even if it gets passed, it won’t last until the election begins.

  37. Both of the Presidential candidates are,well,very old. Trump is not the healthiest. What would happen if Trump were to pass away between the Republican convention and election day. Would Frank LaRose then decide that Ohio would have no one on the ballot for President?
