"Challenges Mount for Democrats Getting Biden on Alabama and Ohio Ballots"

Democrats are exploring options to ensure President Joe Biden's placement on the ballot in Alabama and Ohio after Republican elections officials warned that he would miss the deadline to be certified as the Democratic nominee in both states. The Biden campaign has proposed various solutions, including pushing back certification deadlines, accepting provisional certifications, holding a remote convention roll call, or pursuing litigation. Ohio and Alabama face challenges in accommodating these options, with Ohio's secretary of state advising Democrats to move their convention or pass legislation, and Alabama Democrats introducing bills to push back the certification deadline. The Biden campaign has hinted at potential legal action, while Alabama's secretary of state has reiterated his stance that state law does not allow for provisional certifications.
