DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison issued a statement on Tuesday in which he explained that the Democrat Party would be taking matters into their own hands and holding a “virtual roll,” in order to ensure that Biden appears on the ballot in all 50 states, according to the Hill.
Under Ohio law, political parties are required to certify their presidential and vice presidential nominees at least 90 days before an election. However, the Democrat Party’s convention is scheduled to occur between August 19-22, roughly 75 days before the November election.
“Joe Biden will be on the ballot in Ohio and all 50 states, and Ohio Republicans agree,” Harrison said in a statement. “But when the time has come for action, they have failed to act every time, so Democrats will land this plane on our own.”
Harrison continued to explain that the Democrat Party would nominate Biden through a “virtual roll call” in order to “ensure that Republicans can’t chip away at our democracy through incompetence or partisan tricks.”
Lawmakers in Ohio gathered for a special session on Tuesday in order to discuss Biden appearing on the ballot, days after Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) called for the special session.
Ohio Senate Republicans had passed a bill that would ensure Biden appeared on the ballot, while also preventing “foreign contributions to ballot issue campaigns,” according to CBS News.
The Hill added:
The state House had worked on a more permanent solution that would change the certification deadline, but ultimately neither of those bills was officially voted on in the lower chamber.
Liz Walters, the chairwoman of the Ohio Democratic Party criticized Republicans, saying they had “played politics with our democracy.”
News of the Democrat Party’s decision to virtually nominate Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris comes after several reports have indicated the Democrats have been floating the idea of holding a virtual convention in an attempt to avoid pro-Palestinian protests over the Biden administration’s handling of the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.

"He's" a robot or someone in one of those masks or some combination of the two.
With that in mind, it'd be the first time that a robotic had been nominated.

Watch for Kamala to have a logging accident somewhere near Spokane or Wala Wala.

It would be hard to believe that either one polls better than the other.

Pish! Logging? That would be doing something productive.

Polls are selective. Biden is clearly winning if only South Bronx is called, using BidenPhones, and obviously biased non Scots-Irish names are stricken from results.

I just felt compelled to be a gentleman and tell the girl next door that her mower was equipped with front wheel-drive/self propel. God only knows how long she had been pushing it through the high grass/weeds before I noticed the lower lever. Yikes, sometimes I feel like I'm killing Darwinism by simply trying to help.

And what about when they search the area for a sixth time and discover the suicide note?

Found in the ashes of a sawmill that just blew up for no reason...
