  • David Ellison, the son of Republican megadonor Larry Ellison, gave $929,600 to back the reelection efforts of President Joe Biden.
  • The move to gain David Ellison’s support was largely orchestrated by Hollywood mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.
  • Oracle founder and chairman Larry Ellison has not donated this election cycle to Donald Trump, the Republican set to face Biden in November’s election in a rematch of the 2020 contest.
  • Others who gave the same amount as David Ellison in the quarter include the attorney George Conway and Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz.

Sorry if this has been discussed already (this isn't a thread I regularly check) but anybody else worried about GQP shit-bags in Alabama and Ohio starting to make noise about Biden not being on the ballot in those states because DNC is scheduled for after their deadline to register the candidates? We ain't winning Alabama no matter what but Ohio is kind of a critical state. Seems this has happened before and accommodations have been made either through legislation or prelim apps. I just don't trust these fuckers to play by the rules or do the right thing.

"Ohio GOP leaders reject Democrats' plan to get President Joe Biden on November ballot"

https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/04/16/ohio-rejects-democrats-fix-to-get-joe-biden-on-november-ballot/73343798007/

Ohio officials rejected a plan from Democrats to get President Joe Biden on the November ballot after the party scheduled its convention past a state election deadline.

Secretary of State Frank LaRose warned Ohio Democrats earlier this month that Biden is at risk of not making the Nov. 5 ballot. State law requires officials to certify the ballot 90 days before an election − which is Aug. 7 this year − but the president won't officially be nominated until the Democratic National Convention on Aug. 19.

In a letter to LaRose's office,

Biden easily won Ohio's presidential primary with 87% of the vote.

"If President Biden and Vice President Harris are not listed on the ballot as the Democratic Party candidates, their supporters in Ohio will be stripped of the opportunity to associate with their preferred candidate," McTigue wrote.

But Attorney General Dave Yost's office says provisional approval won't work, nor can LaRose unilaterally change election deadlines.

"Instead, the law mandates the Democratic Party to actually certify its president and vice-president candidates on or before August 7, 2024," Julie M. Pfeiffer, an attorney on Yost's staff, told LaRose's legal counsel. "No alternative process is permitted."

Pfeiffer's letter appears to leave Democrats with two options: Rely on the Legislature, or sue.

Lawmakers could pass an exemption to the 90-day deadline by May 9, as they did in 2020 when both parties scheduled their conventions too late. But the chances of that are slim: Top Democrats said they're deferring to the Biden campaign and Democratic National Committee, and Republican leaders are unlikely to lend a helping hand.

"I think it's a Democratic problem," Senate President Matt Huffman, R-Lima, told reporters last week. "There should have to be a Democratic solution. That hasn't been proposed to me."

Ohio isn't the only state with election deadlines before the convention. Alabama and Washington are in the same boat, although Washington's secretary of state − a Democrat − will accept a provisional certification, the Seattle Times reported. Oklahoma, Illinois, Washington and Montana did the same with both parties in 2020.

McTigue and a spokesperson for Biden's campaign declined to answer questions about potential next steps.

"Joe Biden will be on the ballot in all 50 states," a Biden campaign official said. "State officials have the ability to grant provisional ballot access certification prior to the conclusion of presidential nominating conventions."

obtained by the USA TODAY Network Ohio Bureau, attorney Don McTigue said the Democratic Party would provisionally certify Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the Aug. 7 deadline. McTigue noted that Biden already secured enough delegates for the Democratic nomination after facing no significant primary challenge.

Go figure, the GQP is playing fucky-fucky here, just as expected. It's truly amazing that a pre-req to be Rep legislator is that you have to be a complete asshole. The joke is tha the GOP doesn't have a platform when in actuality, they do. It's the "Be an Asshole" party.

Is there some reason the Dems can't just say Biden-Harris is our ticket before 8/7 to get on the Ohio ballot and then make it official at the Convention?

The last primary is in June so they can just do a roll call early, virtually, and send the states the official certification that Biden/Harris is the ticket. Which is probably what will happen

Driving through Barton Hills to pick my pup up from the groomer and I saw like 4 Kennedy signs. Ok I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised that that neighborhood has some kooky characters. But it does concern me a bit. Those were Biden voters in 2020. I have this sinking feeling Kennedy is going to swing it to that fucking guy. I hope I’m wrong

There are people 50 years old that don't recall the Kennedy's being overly relevant on a national level, so to me, this is a fair question.  It's great they are endorsing Biden and not the clown show brother/cousin/whatever, but does it move the needle in any sense?  No.  No one really gives a shit what these people think, nor should they.  

Personally, and people's opinions of course will differ, but I'm well past being over the myth of the Kennedy's.  Sure they will always be part of history, but man o man has it become quite the fish tale for a lot of people and the truth about it fairly ugly.

He's already turned a lot of these people off with the vaccine stuff.  If the campaign goes through with a big push for some of the LBGTQ crowd, I'm going to hit up a select few MAGA family members and congratulate them on supporting somebody as progressive as Trump and that I'm proud of them for finally coming around to supporting LBGTQ voters.

Of course the Supreme Court would side with Biden and help him rig the election.  Just ignore that she worked at OAN and was fucking fired from Newsmax for promoting COVID misinformation.  I mean, how hard can it be to get fired from Newsmax for conspiracy theories?

The constant refrain about how unfair the media (and everyone applauding with rep) is the aggyiest thing this board does. 

Please find below direct links to the stories about polls from minor outlets WaPo, USA Today, NBC News and Reuters.

Of course, most media outlets simply maintain pages dedicated to polls that take 3-5 seconds to find.  ABC has 538.  NYT and WaPo have politics/polls pages. Anyway, carry on with persecution complex.
