On May 28, 2024, the Democratic National Committee decided to change the date of its convention to accommodate Joe Biden, causing controversy. The original convention date conflicted with Ohio's ballot deadline of August 7, which could have affected Biden's eligibility in two states. Jaime Harrison, chair of the Democratic National Committee, stated that a virtual roll call would ensure that Republicans cannot undermine democracy through incompetence or partisan tricks. The decision to reschedule the convention has drawn criticism, with some arguing that the issue stemmed from the Democrats' scheduling rather than state laws.
apparently biden just fuckin oopsied ballot eligibility in two states consequence of the dem convention date being past deadline for submission personally i feel forcing the democratic national party to reschedule the convention or lose these states would be reasonable and funny https://t.co/ErH0sLrpPz
“Through a virtual roll call, we will ensure that Republicans can’t chip away at our democracy through incompetence or partisan tricks,” Jaime Harrison, chair of the Dem National Committee, said. Ohio ballot deadline has been 8/7, & Dems pick a later Convention date, but blame Rs

This is the way it should have been handled to begin with since the problem was DEMOCRATS and their scheduling not with the Ohio law. All the "conservatives" who said Ohio should change their laws look STUPID. Also, it proves the conventions are garbage. https://t.co/VmoLAoVFdR
