Alabama's top elections official, Wes Allen, has raised concerns regarding the certification of Joe Biden and his running mate for the upcoming presidential election. Allen asserts that due to the timing of the Democratic National Convention, the Democratic nominees may miss the deadline to be certified in Alabama.
State law in Alabama requires parties to provide a 'certificate of nomination for President and Vice President' at least 82 days before the November 5 election. However, the Democratic convention is scheduled to begin on August 19, just four days after the certification deadline.
