    Didn’t we just have a supreme Court decision that said states can’t ban presidential candidates from the national ballot?

      Biden is missing all these states, because the DNC set their convention for so late in the summer, it missed the deadline to notify states who the party’s nominee is to be on the ballot.

      DNC can easily move the convention up and Biden be on all ballots.

      But I’m case you haven’t noticed, the unelected people running the DNC tend to make ridiculous demands and never back down.

      There’s a decent chance they won’t do the very easy solution of moving the convention up.

      If they thought rules applied to them, they’d have checked the most basic part of our political system to see when signups were due.

        Or they’re doing it on purpose. DNC has no hope in Alabama, but if they don’t put him on the ballot the dnc may be counting on it enraging some of the blue voters in all the other states to go vote out of spite.
