Democrats to Virtually Nominate Biden to Ensure Ohio Ballot Access

The move comes as a scheduling conflict threatens the presidentโ€™s chances of winning Ohio.

President Joe Biden will be virtually nominated as the Democratsโ€™ presidential nominee before the partyโ€™s national convention in August to secure his spot on Ohioโ€™s general election ballot.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) was notified months ago that President Bidenโ€™s name would not appear on the stateโ€™s general election ballot unless he was nominated by the stateโ€™s deadline of Aug. 7. The Democratsโ€™ national convention, where the party would typically nominate its chosen candidate, is scheduled for Aug. 19 to 22 in Chicago.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine called a special legislative session to address the issue last week, though lawmakers had not agreed to a solution by the DNCโ€™s announcement on May 28.

โ€œJoe Biden will be on the ballot in Ohio and all 50 states, and Ohio Republicans agree. But when the time has come for action, they have failed to act every time, so Democrats will land this plane on our own,โ€ DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison said in a statement.

โ€œThrough a virtual roll call, we will ensure that Republicans canโ€™t chip away at our democracy through incompetence or partisan tricks and that Ohioans can exercise their right to vote for the presidential candidate of their choice.โ€

A date for the virtual nomination was not announced, though it is expected to come within the weeks following the committeeโ€™s rules and bylaw committeeโ€™s vote on changes to the roll call process on June 4.

The virtual process is expected to mirror the format the party used in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the traditional in-person convention will still take place, it will be largely ceremonial.

Ohio revised its certification deadline from 60 to 90 days ahead of the general election in 2010. Since then, lawmakers have twice extended the deadlineโ€”in 2012 and 2020โ€”to accommodate both partiesโ€™ nominating conventions. This will be the first year just one party has scheduled its convention too late.

The Ohio Legislature is controlled by the GOP, which holds majorities in both chambers. Although lawmakers appeared to be on the cusp of a legislative fix for the dilemma earlier this month, a final solution was never solidified.
