In 2009, Ohio changed the deadline for a qualified party to certify the names of its presidential and vice-presidential nominees from 75 days before the general election, to 90 days before the general election. This was a very irrational act, because it is quite common for at least one of the major parties to hold its presidential convention after that deadline.
In 2012, the first year the conflict existed, the Ohio legislature during 2012 passed SB 509, moving the deadline for 2012 only to 60 days. This was done to help both major parties, because that year the Republican convention was August 27-30, and the Democratic convention was September 4-6.
There was no problem in 2016, because both major parties nominated in July. But in 2020, it would again have been a problem, because the Republican convention was set for August 24, 2020. So in 2019 the legislature again passed a bill setting the deadline at 60 days, to apply to 2020 only. That was in the budget bill, Am. Sub. HB 166, signed July 18,2019.
Now the problem has arisen for 2024, because the Democratic convention is August 19-22. See this story. It says the Ohio legislature may pass a bill changing the deadline. If it does not, the Democratic Party would have an easy lawsuit to strike down the deadline. This is exactly the type of lawsuit in which Trump v Anderson, the U.S. Supreme Court decision of last month, would be relevant. For Ohio to leave the Democratic nominees off the ballot would create the ballot access “patchwork” that the court unanimously felt was bad policy.
Oh well. Biden or his replacement is off the ballot. How sad.
ANY BALLOT ACCESS DEADLINE FOR OHIO PARTY HACK CANDIDATES NOMINATED AT FALL STATE PARTY CONVENTIONS OR EVEN PRIMARY CANDIDATES ???

HOW MANY RIGGED ELECTION MACHINATIONS PER SECOND —
DATES / AREAS / VOTERS / BALLOT FORMS / VOTES / ETC /ETC ???
Elections need on one deadline – election day.
Standing vote count ensures that.
Beyond the Ohio law problem, I don’t get why any political party would hold its convention that late. Sheer stupidity, given that, to some degree, the traditional “Labor Day start” to the home stretch still holds true.
Biden wouldn’t win Ohio anyway.
COULD RFKJR WIN OH IF NO BIDEN ???
No.
Ballot access ***patchwork*** since 1968 SCOTUS Williams v Rhodes — mere 56 years and counting.
TOTAL Failure to detect 1954 Brown v Bd of Ed in SCOTUS ballot access cases — separate is NOT equal.
Wasn’t the DNC in 2020 also in August and thus within the 90-day deadline as well?
Since all state parties are autonomous the Democratic Party of Ohio state central committee could just nominate the Biden-Harris ticket in advance of the national convention to meet the deadline. Tempest in a teapot.
Unlike other states, the Ohio law specifically says that qualified parties must nominate the presidential and vice-presidential candidates chosen by the national conventions of that party.
@AZ
Brown v Board of Ed does not equalize educational opportunities across states. Why would it do it for ballot access across states? States are not separate segregated facilities. We have freedom of movement.
AZ has been told multiple times Brown does not apply. He’s too much of a retard to understand.
The rules get bent for establishment choice Democrats and establishment choice Republicans.
Az is a bot. It doesn’t matter how many times you tell it anything. It only mimics a retard to get reactions. If you react, you are the retard.
Ohio will go very strongly for Trump.
Let’s Go Brandon!

New rule strengthening federal job protections could counter Trump promises to remake the government
Will Weissert
Associated Press
Washington – The government’s chief human resources agency issued a new rule on Thursday making it harder to fire thousands of federal employees, hoping to head off former President Donald Trump’s promises to radically remake the workforce along ideological lines if he wins back the White House in November.
The Office of Personnel Management regulations will bar career civil servants from being reclassified as political appointees or as other at-will workers, who are more easily dismissed from their jobs.

Judge rejects Trump’s First Amendment challenge to indictment in Georgia election case
Kate Brumback
Associated Press
Atlanta – The judge overseeing the Georgia election interference case against Donald Trump and others rejected on Thursday arguments by the former president that the indictment seeks to criminalize political speech protected by the First Amendment.
The indictment issued in August by a Fulton County grand jury accused Trump and 18 others of participating in a wide-ranging scheme to illegally try to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia after the Republican incumbent narrowly lost the state to Democrat Joe Biden.
Trump’s attorneys argued that all the charges against him involved political speech that is protected even if the speech ends up being false.

WHEN WILL SCOTUS GET THE CASE ???
The courts will not side with the Democrats on this. The ruling in Trump v Anderson was that only Congress can enforce the 14th Amendment. This case is about a state law, not the Constitution. The Democrats knew about it but they assumed they’d get an exemption like the Republicans always get. They deserve to get burned for tempting fate like that.
Trump will get a tremendous vote total in Ohio.
When Trump wins, we should change the Constitution so he can win again.
We can, and we will!
And win again!

“This was a very irrational act”
Why? Because you don’t like it? Just hold nominating conventions in a timely fashion instead of last minute. Duh-doy. Ohio is doing a service to voters.
Exactly.
