What a good system we have

I noticed it also gave a May 9th deadline to get a statutory exemption, so I went hunting

Seems likely he'll be on ballot

I don't want to minimize that this has to happen, but I do want to minimize anybody thinking that there's a snowball's chance in hell that this isn't going to happen," DeWine [Governor, R] said Wednesday. "The president's name is going to be on the ballot.

Buuuutt...

House leaders introduced a bipartisan proposal on Tuesday to put Biden on the ballot and prevent future scheduling conflicts. For 2028 and beyond, parties that couldn't meet the 90-day deadline would be allowed to certify candidates either 74 days before the election or within three days of their convention, whichever comes first.

But Senate Republicans pursued a different path, one that Democrats cast as a poison pill and refused to support. They folded a one-time deadline fix into a bill that would ban foreign citizens and U.S. residents with green cards from donating to ballot campaigns. It's already illegal for non-U.S. citizens to give money to candidates.

you expect the masterminds over at the party to be good at the procedural part of electioneering? all they know is bribing journalists

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe they also know hot chip, among other things.

Democrats only have one passion in life and that's eating shit in easily winnable elections.

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

The election board just doesn’t give a shit i guess lmfao

An unprecedented level of incompetence on the part of the Democratic Party

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

Democracy is on the line in 2024!

So of course Biden and the DNC cannot be arsed to do the bare minimum requirements to get him on the ballot. Total clown show.

Would be hilarious if Trump wins the EC, and then also the popular vote but only because no Dem votes are counted in Ohio.

[–] jack@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Ohio accounts for a couple percent of the vote so it's extremely plausible that this gets Trump the popular vote

[–] glans@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't understand all the mechanics of this system. But did they just overlook the dates? Nobody put it in the shared calendar?
