"Biden's Ballot Battle: Deadlines Loom in Alabama and Ohio"
Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen, a Republican, has informed the Democratic Party that the Democratic National Convention's scheduled date is after the state's deadline for submitting presidential and vice-presidential nominees for the November general election. State law requires certification of nomination by August 15, while the convention is set for August 19. Failure to meet the deadline would result in the Democratic Party's candidates not appearing on the Alabama general election ballot.
