Ohio House leaders said Tuesday there will probably not be a legislative solution to getting President Joe Biden on the November ballot in Ohio, the Columbus Dispatch reports.
Current law says Ohio officials must certify the ballot on Aug. 7, 90 days before the election, but Biden wont be nominated until the Democratic National Convention on Aug. 19.

Fuck these GOP dipshits who think they're so goddam righteous and just for complicating simple issues with intent to make everyone's lives marginally more annoying and tedious.
