Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The date of the convention and the date of Ohio's deadline for candidates are otherwise fine, except that they conflict. In 2016 both parties nominated in July.
Ohio's deadline was moved to 90 days before the election fourteen years ago. And yes they've passed an exemption twice since then, indicating it's a dumb date for them to use, but it's not particularly partisan since both parties have needed the exemption.
The DNC messed up the scheduling. It's that simple.
Pick a different venue, pick a different date, or get the special exemption the SoS recommended. All will resolve the issue.
It does not appear to be "Ohio republiQan fuckery" as much as a standard law the DNC didn't know about and didn't check, or knew about and (wanted?) needs a special legislative exemption.
And downvoting someone for saying so is erring on the side of dickishness.
Anything LaRose does is fuckery.
In 2020 the Democratic Convention was also in August. They worked it out last time or maybe Ohio was just more agreeable in that election.
Yeah, it seems pretty dumb, but that’s what they got.
Exemption for Republicans at an even later date in 2020 but not this year for democrats? Sounds like fuckery to me. It's not a real deadline if they just always exempt for it. And changing venues or dates is incredibly unrealistic for a convention of this size. Ohio should change the dumb law to line up better with other states. Do we really need laws encouraging the presidential election cycle to take up even more time? It should be shorter if anything.
