WASHINGTON (TND) — There is talk about whether President Joe Biden's name will appear on the Ohio ballot this November.

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose addressed the issue on social media, noting the state's house speaker said "there won't be a legislative solution" to an obscure provision of an Ohio law that requires presidential candidates be certified ahead of the general election.

LaRose said the law requires the political party selecting its presidential and vice presidential candidates must certify the names of the candidates with the secretary of state 90 days before the general election to ensure they will be on the ballot. The deadline, he said, is Aug. 7.

According to the Ohio Capital Journal, the Democratic National Convention that will formally nominate Biden won't open until almost two weeks after the deadline, adding that former President Donald Trump won't have a problem because the Republican National Convention will conclude well before the deadline.

As it stands today, the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee will not be on the Ohio ballot," LaRose wrote on X Tuesday. "That is not my choice. It's due to a conflict in the law created by the party, and the party has so far offered no legally acceptable remedy."

In his post, LaRose included a letter he sent to Ohio Democratic Party Chairwoman Liz Walters, noting his office "still has not received communication on behalf of the Ohio Democratic Party or the Democratic National Committee that clarifies the party's intent to comply with Ohio's ballot access deadline."

He said he previously offered two possible solutions, with one being the Democratic party nominates Biden sooner than the scheduled date or action by the Ohio General Assembly to create an exception to the law.

"With a legislative remedy taken off the table, I must remind you that the deadline is fast approaching, and the matter remains unresolved," he wrote. "Unless your part plans to comply with the statutory deadline, I am duty-bound to instruct boards of electrons to begin preparing ballos that do no include the Democratic Party's nominees for president and vice president of the United States. Let me be clear that this is not an action I wish to take, as I beleive it in the best interest of Ohio voters to have a choice between at least the two major party candidates for the nation's highest political office. Unfortunately, however, the Ohio House of Representatives has refused to act, and the Democratic Party has so far officer no legally acceptable remedy."

The Ohio Capital Journal reported Biden’s campaign is confident he will be on Ohio’s ballot.

“Joe Biden will be on the ballot in all 50 states,” Charles Lutvak, a spokesperson for the Biden campaign, told the media outlet. “Election after election, states across the country have acted in line with the bipartisan consensus and taken the necessary steps to ensure the presidential nominees from both parties will be on the ballot.”
