They also have a Tri-fecta in AL, but it got worked out there. 



Here is the problem in Ohio:


The deadline to notify Ohio of a party’s presidential nominee is Aug. 7.
After being signed by the governor and delivered to the secretary of state’s office, bills take 90 days to go into effect. Ninety days after May 10 is Aug. 8.
Aug. 8 is the day after the nomination deadline.
After back-and-forths with each House caucus’ administration and checking with two additional legal experts, there is one conclusion: the lawmakers’ math was flawed.
“The only problem that you’ve encountered, and you were right, is when you start counting,” Case Western Reserve University constitutional law professor Jonathan Entin said.
The Democrats acknowledged the error and said they were looking into it. The Republicans had been discussing it with their legal team but said it still doesn’t violate state law — adding that they worked with the secretary of state’s team on it. WEWS/OCJ reached out to LaRose’s office but didn’t hear back.
The GOP also argued that once the law is effective, “any previous failure to meet the deadline is immediately cured.” It was brought up that the nomination deadline is before the law is effective, and it wouldn’t impact the deadline that already passed.
The Democrats recognized that, yes, it is possible they would be breaking the law for a day or more. Both they and the Republicans said it wasn’t going to be an issue, though.

As I said, once they get it worked out, Biden will be on the ballot Legally. If they had allowed this to go thru, all it would have taken was one idiot to challenge it and Biden would have been tossed from the ballot and likely too late to do anything legally to fix it. 


In the meantime, everyone is making a royal fuss out of this. 
Damn those R bastids! 

The date Ohio uses is completely arbitrary.  In the past they have made exceptions for both parties.

But in this case the super majority wants to play politics to help Trump.

It should be a simple fix as it was in the past.  Making excuses for them doesn't make them look any better.
