special legislative session

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine is urging the state legislature to convene a special session to ensure President Joe Biden appears on the ballot in the Buckeye State for the upcoming election. The Republican governor emphasizes the importance of addressing a scheduling conflict caused by an existing rule in the Ohio Revised Code.

The rule mandates that officials certify ballots 90 days before an election, which sets this year's deadline at August 7th. However, President Biden's official nomination will not occur until the Democratic National Convention, scheduled for August 19th. This discrepancy poses a significant challenge for including Biden. . .
