Ohio Voters
Details on potential consequences and implications of Biden not being on the Ohio ballot in the upcoming election.

Well, howdy there, internet people.
Let's bow again.
So today we are going to talk about Biden and Ohio
and dates and timelines and how Biden,
well, he may not be on the ballot in Ohio.
Okay, so what's going on?
According to Ohio state law,
basically they have to know
the candidate is going to be by August 7th. The Democratic National Convention is August 19th.
That obviously presents an issue. But it's not a new issue because in 2020 both parties were
after the deadline. Then they granted a special exemption. The state legislature did a one-time
change to the law, to the statute that requires this. So basically Ohio has
told the Democratic Party about this and now they're trying to figure out what to
do. The obvious answers would be the convention could move up but that's kind
of unlikely because those things take a lot of planning. The legislature, the
state legislature could again grant an exemption or perhaps maybe they should
think about fixing a law that is obviously problematic. That would be the
sensible route. The sensible route would be for the state legislature to fix it.
Okay. Do we know that they're going to do that? Of course not. What are the other
options? There's hundreds to include, you know, legal battles and all kinds of
other things. So one of the things to remember is that this isn't something that the Biden
administration is going to give up on. Ohio is seen as a swing state. So it's unlikely
that they're just going to be like, okay, fine, we'll be a ride in, as he did during
a primary. There is some unusual math that suggests that might actually help
him. I'm not sure if I buy that math and that belief that by creating a
situation where he's not on the ballot it actually drives more people to show up.
I don't know that I buy that, but this is going to be a thing. This is the
start of another news item that is going to continue. Unless the state
legislature steps up, does the sensible thing, and does it quickly, this is going
to become a long-running story because this year it isn't both parties.
It's just the Democratic Party that is behind this date.
There will probably be some in Ohio who are looking at exercising power for power's sake
here.
the voters of Ohio feel about that, that's an entirely different question because you
don't know.
But as it stands right now, the general tone from the Democratic Party is Biden's going
to be on the ballot.
Don't worry about it.
I mean, I have questions.
I have questions about how it's going to play out.
So again, something to put on your radar to watch, especially if you're in Ohio.
Anyway, it's just a thought.
Y'all have a good day.
