There is literally zero reason to do this now that Ohio moved their deadline…
Ohio passed a law moving the deadline from Aug 7 to Aug 31, but technically that law does not take effect until Sep 1.
No law passed by the general assembly shall go into effect until ninety days after it shall have been filed by the governor in the office of the secretary of state
So the reason to do a virtual roll call is to prevent legal shenanigans from the Trump campaign.
Cool. So there’s still be time if they pull shit?
Sounds like there’s still no reason
No, there isn’t time to nominate if the Trump campaign challenges the nomination after the deadline.
Lawyers and generals don’t interrupt opponents who are making mistakes.
Can you just stop for a minute, look at a calendar, then try to explain to me how they can reschedule something from 8/7/2024 to 8/31/2024 on 9/1/2024?
Again, the governor signed a law moving the deadline from Aug 7 to Aug 31. But the Ohio constitution says this law cannot take effect until September 1.
So Trump lawyers can argue that the law doesn’t do anything at all, and on Aug 19 (when the Democratic convention starts) the deadline is still Aug 7.
Well, I could go with what legal experts, the media, and political experts say…
Or I could trust a random social media accounts interpretation…
Give me a while to decide which is more likely to be a subject matter expert on this
Try to keep up. I am telling you what the literal chair of the DNC said.
