The Ohio Secretary of State warned of an “apparent conflict” in state law that could affect the president’s re-election bid.
The letter, first obtained by ABC News and made public Friday night, was sent to Ohio Democratic Party Chairwoman Liz Walters and other top Democrats in the state. Penned by Paul Disantis, the chief legal counsel for Ohio ’s Republican Secretary of State, Frank LaRose, it raised “an apparent conflict” in state law that could cause headaches for the Biden campaign.
The state’s General Assembly, which consists of a Senate and House of Representatives, is dominated by the GOP, which has taken advantage of some of the most extreme partisan gerrymandering in the country to cement Republican control over the state. Moving the date of the convention would also likely be a logistical nightmare.
