The idea is “not foreseen by law”
An Ohio state official has rejected Democrats’ illegal plan to enter Joe Biden’s name in the 2024 presidential election.
An attorney for the left-wing party had wanted the state to accept a “provisional” certification of Biden and Kamala Harris as nominees, but Attorney General Dave Yost’s office found the move “simply not required by law.”
“Instead, the law requires the Democratic Party to actually certify its nominees for president and vice president by August 7, 2024. No alternative process is permitted,” the statement read.
The problem is that Democrats, focused in recent years on trying to exclude President Donald Trump from the 2024 election, have overlooked state requirements for certification. Their conference, to officially nominate Biden as the candidate, will not take place before the end of August.
After the deadlines in Ohio and Alabama have passed when the decision will be made.
The Ohio state decision said: “Therefore, the secretary of state does not have the authority to accept ‘interim certifications’ from the Democratic Party pursuant to the [the law]. The Democratic Party must actually certify its presidential candidates by August 7, 2024 to be placed on the ballot for the 2024 general election.”
The state previously offered two solutions to Democrats. The first is that the state legislature could change the law, the second is that Democrats could reschedule their convention earlier.
A Fox News report describes the Democratic plan as an attempt to “circumvent” the law.
The report said the documents show correspondence between Yost and Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose and attorney Donald McTigue, who represents Democrats.
McTigue said the state had the authority to obtain “provisional certification” to accommodate Democrats.
The AG rejected the idea.
“The Democratic Party’s idea of providing ‘provisional certification’ within the statutory deadline is simply not intended by law,” Yost’s office said. “Instead, the law requires the Democratic Party to actually certify its nominees for president and vice president by August 7, 2024. No alternative process is permitted.”
Biden’s campaign continued to confirm that he will be on the ballot in “all 50 states.”
Alabama officials also warned Biden of similar circumstances there.
Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen said the law requires nominations by Aug. 15.
“It has recently come to my attention that the Democratic National Convention meeting is currently scheduled for August 19, 2024, which is after the State of Alabama statutory deadline for political parties to provide a certificate of nomination for President and Vice President on August 15 . , 2024,” local officials told Democrats. “The certificate of nomination must be signed by the convention chair and secretary and the chairman of the state executive committee of the nominating political party.”
The American Center for Law and Justice, which has advocated for election integrity and election fairness, noted: “Remember when the far left tried to disqualify President Donald Trump from the state primaries? The ACLJ won before the United States Supreme Court to protect your right to vote for the candidate of your choice.”
Indeed, Democrats across America have spent months and likely countless dollars trying to get President Donald Trump barred from the 2024 presidential election.
They have been pushing the “insurrectionists” talking point about the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot since those events occurred.
They worked at the state level, in Colorado, to get a ruling from an all-Democratic state Supreme Court that his name should not appear. Two other states followed Colorado’s agenda, but that agenda was blocked by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Democrats have even drawn up a long list of questionable charges against Trump – in court – to try to make sure Americans aren’t allowed to name-check his name on the November ballot.
