Biden/Harris on Ohio ballot? [View all]

Ohio officials rejected a plan from Democrats to get President Joe Biden on the November ballot after the party scheduled its convention past a state election deadline.

Secretary of State Frank LaRose warned Ohio Democrats earlier this month that Biden is at risk of not making the Nov. 5 ballot. State law requires officials to certify the ballot 90 days before an election ? which is Aug. 7 this year ? but the president won't officially be nominated until the Democratic National Convention on Aug. 19.
