is on the state ballot in November hit a road bump on Wednesday as the legislature adjourned without a fix.
Ohio’s Senate leaders passed a bill that temporarily fixed the problem by allowing certification 74 days before the election. The legislation also prohibited foreign investment in state ballot measures, which differed from a House version of the bill and that House Democrats disavowed. “The facts are still very clear on this. The Democrats scheduled their nominating convention too late to comply with Ohio law, and they’ve admitted that this unforced error creates a problem for their presidential candidate that needs to be fixed,” LaRose said in a statement on Wednesday.
Previously in 2020, lawmakers passed exemptions for both Democrats and Republicans as their conventions were held after the 90-day deadline.
