COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio lawmakers have joined together to fix the state's obscure law that would have prevented President Joe Biden from being on the November ballot — but there is one problem. Seemingly unbeknownst to the lawmakers, they only gave themselves until Thursday to get this signed into law.
The Ohio Democrats have received support from the House Republicans in getting the president on the ballot. S.B. 92 heads to the House floor on Wednesday after passing out of committee on Tuesday. After it likely passes the House, this means that all it needs to get sent to Gov. Mike DeWine is a concurrence vote from the Senate.
"It enables the notification to be a lot more flexible, whether it's email or whatever," House Speaker Jason Stephens said."This gives the flexibility.""Just four years ago, we had this issue," the speaker said."The party in power in the White House usually goes last for the convention, so hopefully this will take care of that issue."
