"Alabama Election Official Warns Biden Could Be Left Off General Election Ballot"

Alabama's Secretary of State warned that President Biden's name could be left off the state's general election ballot in November due to the timing of his formal nomination, as the Democratic National Convention is scheduled after the state's deadline for political parties to provide a certificate of nomination. The Biden campaign expects him to appear on the ballot despite the deadline, citing the ability of state officials to grant provisional ballot access certification. Similar concerns have been raised in Ohio, where a change in state law was made before the 2020 election to accommodate the convention timing.
