Alabama Senator Merika Coleman (D-Birmingham) has introduced SB 318, to move the date for qualified parties to certify the names of their presidential nominees from 82 days before the election, to 74 days before. This would solve the problem that the existing deadline is earlier than this year’s Democratic national convention.

She has also introduced SB 324, which moves the certification deadline in the same way, and also moves the deadline for independent presidential candidate petitions to a later date. SB 324 has seven co-sponsors.
