In a letter obtained by ABC News, legal counsel for Ohio's Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) raised concerns about a conflict in Ohio law between the DNC's nominating process and the secretary of state's certification deadline.
The DNC's nominating convention for Biden is set to begin on Aug. 19, while Ohio's certification deadline is earlier on August 7, leading to the potential ineligibility of Biden on Ohio's general election ballot.
The Democratic National Committee may need to adjust its schedule or Ohio's General Assembly create an exception to the law for Biden to be eligible, as per the legal counsel's letter to the Ohio Democratic Chair.
Ohio, predominantly Republican, is under scrutiny for its strict scheduling conflict, raising questions about Biden's presence on the state's ballot amidst the GOP's control over key offices.
