COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Democratic Party is set to nominate President Joe Biden to be on Ohio's ballot after a month of controversy, Ohio Senate Democratic leadership said.
This comes as the lawmakers in Ohio entered their first day of a special session called by the governor to fix this problem. "It enables the notification to be a lot more flexible, whether it's email or whatever," Stephens said about his bill."This gives the flexibility.""Just four years ago, we had this issue," the speaker said."The party in power in the White House usually goes last for the convention, so hopefully this will take care of that issue.""I think everyone agreed this is good for democracy," Russo said.
It has provisions that could make it harder for grassroots movements to get on the ballot — even with U.S. dollars. Across the Statehouse, the House"informally passed" its version of the Biden fix, S.B. 92. This means it stays on the calendar but doesn't actually pass and isn't put up for a vote. It can be brought up for a vote at a later date."We had those conversations and ended up not doing it today," Stephens said about not concurring.
