Biden Just Kicked Off The Ohio Ballot

[Cellblock2429]

Appears that the DNC hasn't nominated Biden in time to get on the Ohio ballot, so he's been removed, and the Ohio state legislation has adjourned.

So it's too late to get him registered.

/——/ That won’t stop them.

 

[Cellblock2429]

Given the Democrat propensity to find ways around the law, they'll probably fix the glitch. If they don't, that's too funny,

Ultimately if he stays off the ballot it may not make any difference except in the overall popular vote. In late April, Five Thirty Eight had Biden down 10 points against Trump in Ohio.

/——-/ Won’t matter. The Electors still get their votes counted.

What I'm reading here is it doesn't make one iota of difference whether he missed the deadline or he is going to miss the deadline in the application of your opinion.

Ergo, it is a distinction without a difference.

Of course it doesn't matter. Just like it didn't matter in the past. The better question is why does it matter to you now when you never bitched about it before?

I suppose the Colorado ruling that a state can't affect a federal election to that extent will now be revisited.

They didn't have to schedule their convention so close to the election.
They can only blame themselves for that.

Sure. Just like the LOTUS didn't have to raise an insurrection.

There were I think six faithless electors in the 2016 election. I think I checked that out once and like 33 states have laws making faithless electors illegal and punishable and SCOTUS held up those laws 9 to 0. I think Ohio is one of the 17 states that have no such laws. Not positive about that as I working from memory here.

9 to 1, huh? Who was the 10th?

Whoops. Typo. Edited to fix it. 9 to 0. Good catch.

 

[mudwhistle]

Sure. Just like the LOTUS didn't have to raise an insurrection.

Has Trump been charged with insurrection?

No.

Wanna know why, when they easily could have if the charges were genuine?

Because the insurrection angle was a media fabrication.

 

[struth]

For the same reason they've done it in the past.

Show me when?

 

[struth]

They don't have to. A judge will take care of that for them based on precedent.

What case law?

 

[Faun]

Whoops. Typo. Edited to fix it. 9 to 0. Good catch.

Typo?? A typo is a typographical error. Such as hitting the wrong key. You have a keyboard where the '1' is next to the '0'?

That wasn't a Typo, it was your usual brain fart.

Idiot...

An obscure provision of Ohio law could keep Biden off the ballot in November • Ohio Capital Journal

President Joe Biden might not appear on the November 2024 presidential ballot in Ohio. There are ways to resolve this problem, but neither solution seems likely in Ohio, where Republicans may be seeking to make life harder for the Democrats’ presidential nominee, writes Case Western Reserve...

The 90-day deadline has often caused trouble since its adoption in 2010. Only in 2016 did both parties’ conventions take place before the Ohio cutoff date. Both conventions took place after the deadline in 2012 and 2020, and legislators extended the deadline both times.​

 

[Faun]

What case law?

Based on Ohio's legislature waiving that law in the past and the 14th Amendment.

Now I'm sorry I was polite to you. Live and learn.

So the legislature has to, not a judge.

 

[Faun]

Now I'm sorry I was polite to you. Live and learn.

What I learned was you thought there are 10 justices on the U.S. Supreme Court.

 

[Faun]

So the legislature has to, not a judge.

Nope, judges are allowed to rule on laws. Especially when execution of such laws violate the U.S. Constitution.

If you think that's what you learned that is probably why you get so many things so very wrong. Have a pleasant day.

Yes laws, not change them by extending them…

About the time you dipshits started trying to kick my candidate off the ballot.

If Biden misses the deadline, the Ohio legislature shouldn't lift one pinky finger to make an exception.

Either make the deadline, or you're off the ballot.
