The Democrats keep stepping on their own toes. In their latest minor glitch, they scheduled their convention after the Ohio registration deadline and now have to come up with a solution that allows them nominate confused senior Joe Biden practically.
The Democratic National Committee announced Tuesday that it will nominate President Joe Biden in a “virtual roll call” vote before the party’s convention in August to ensure he appears on Ohio’s ballot in November.
Ohio’s voting deadline is Aug. 7, two weeks before the DNC was scheduled to hold its official presidential nomination at an in-person convention in Chicago. Frank LaRose, the Republican secretary of state, warned last week that Biden would not be on the state’s ballot if state lawmakers did not push the ballot access deadline until after the Democratic convention. Days later, the DNC announced it would speed up the nomination process, though no date for the virtual roll call has yet been announced.
The DNC chairman, in commenting on this workaround, made one of the most astonishingly ironic statements of this election cycle:
“Joe Biden will be on the ballot in Ohio and all 50 states, and Ohio Republicans agree. But when it came time to take action, they failed to act every time, so Democrats will land this plane alone,” DNC Chair Jaime Harrison said in a statement. “By holding a virtual roll call, we will ensure that Republicans cannot undermine our democracy through incompetence or partisan tricks, and that Ohioans can exercise their right to vote for the presidential candidate of their choice.”
Did you understand that? “… making sure Republicans can’t undermine our democracy”?
Like the Democrats did when they sued in Democratic-controlled states like Colorado and California to remove Donald Trump from the ballot?
Like the Democrats did when they dragged a former President of the United States into court on what were, sadly and obviously, trumped-up (haha) charges?
You see, I am no longer a fan of you too Argue better than anyone who abhors logical fallacies, but I don’t think the Democrats should die on that hill. Not given where their candidate currently stands, and certainly not given their increasingly desperate attempts to prevent Trump’s return in “Trump II: This Time It’s Personal.”

There is no conclusion to be drawn from this other than the fact that the DNC, as we used to say in the Army, carried out a particular action with a particular animal of the canine species. We are dealing here not only with a confused president, not only with a vice president who loses debates with potted plants, not only with an administration full of DEI staffers who seem to have difficulty distinguishing face from foundation on a variety of issues, but also with an incompetent Democratic National Committee that seems unable to read a calendar.
The amazing thing about all this is not Biden’s plummeting poll ratings; the astonishing thing is that these numbers have not yet fallen into the single digits.
Ohio is not the only state where the Democrats have had problems, although These problems have already been solved.
Washington and Alabama states also have early certification deadlines that precede the DNC. But Democrats in Washington state have resolved the issue by offering provisional certification of Biden’s nomination. Alabama lawmakers laws passed Earlier this spring, the state’s certification deadline was pushed back until after the DNC.
This seems appropriate.
