Ohio's Republican governor signs measure ensuring Biden appears on the fall ballot

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has signed a measure to ensure President Joe Biden will appear on the state ballot in November

. DeWine, a Republican, signed the measure — which relaxes a state candidate filing deadline — Sunday along with a related bill that imposes a ban on foreign nationals contributing to state ballot campaigns. Both will take effect Aug. 31. The Republican-dominated Legislature had approved the two measures last week during a rare special session. The contribution ban had been demanded by the Senate, which approved the measures Friday, a day after the House passed them.

In tandem with the Biden campaign, it announced this week that it would solve Biden’s problem with Ohio’s ballot deadline itself by holding a virtual roll call vote to nominate him. A committee vote on that work-around is set for Tuesday. The Democratic National Committee has said the planned virtual roll call will still move forward.
