This spring, Ohio lawmakers changed the state's deadline to make the ballot from Aug. 7 to Sept. 1 because Democrats scheduled their convention to nominate Biden for 12 days after the initial deadline. To ensure Biden made the ballot, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine called the GOP-controlled Legislature into a special session.
Original discourse was on him being on the ballot at all, not just the defacto candidate, and I don't think he just automatically wins as the incumbent (so someone could really push on him here)
Either way, even if he misses it the SC had that ruling that states cannot disqualify presidential candidates that might help him (unless they really wanna sow chaos over a foregone conclusion)
With a conservative governor and legislature too IIRC
That's how dead they think Biden is, they went out of their way to make sure he was the candidate
wouldn't expedited timeframe make his candidacy more likely? Now dems have two weeks to plot their plots
