In a letter to Ohio’s Democratic Party chair, Secretary of State Frank LaRose warns that the Democratic National Convention will take place after a state deadline to declare a candidate.
In the note, LaRose goes on to say that the oversight can be rectified in two ways: either by the Democratic Party moving up its nominating convention or by getting the Ohio state legislature to “create an exemption to this statutory requirement” by May 9 in accordance with state law.
There’s a third way: just file the paperwork on time. The convention is a formality, particularly this year when there is no doubt about the outcome I bet the party puts in a lot of paperwork before the actual convention.
