The Ohio House approved a temporary measure during a special session to allow President Joe Biden to appear on the state's ballot this fall. The move comes after Ohio's deadline for ballot inclusion falls before the Democratic National Convention where Biden is set to be formally nominated.
Democrats' attempts to qualify Biden provisionally were rejected by the state's attorney general, prompting the need for a legislative solution. The Democratic National Committee announced plans for a virtual roll call vote to nominate Biden, bypassing the Ohio ballot deadline issue.
