The Democratic National Committee is moving ahead with its plans to virtually nominate President Joe Biden in the coming weeks, sending out an email to its members Wednesday morning stressing that that is “the wisest approach” despite fierce backlash from some Democratic lawmakers.
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.
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.
That's the only reasonable explanation for the DNC's behavior. They want to lose, but in such a way as to maximize their fundraising for the next election.
