Ohio’s certification deadline is August 7 and Alabama’s is August 15.
The Biden campaign has called on Ohio and Alabama officials to follow past precedent.
The Biden campaign has insisted that it “will be on the ballot in all 50 states.”It has proposed several options.
Ohio and Alabama could push back their deadlines or accept provisional certifications that would be confirmed after the conventions – as Alabama did in 2020 for Republicans.
In Alabama, Democratic lawmakers in the state House and state Senate introduced legislation Thursday to push back the certification deadline to August 23.
