I just want to highlight how shitty Ohio is being here because FlyingSquid isn't technically correct. Ohio has made the decision to extend the timeline... in a law that will take effect after the current deadline passes which is almost certainly an effort to rug-pull the new rules in the window between those two dates.
Ohio is being a bunch of fucking ass hats and everybody absolutely needs to know it.
Thanks. I didn't know about that part. And I thought it couldn't get any more blatantly manipulative.
No worries, if you're curious here's an article that delves into some of the awfulness involved:

Specifically:
Thanks. Checking it out. DeWine is such a piece of shit. The only thing I can say being next door in Indiana is at least Holcomb isn't DeWine.
That said, our AG is a fucking monster.
Surely you're not calling Todd Rokita, the AG who is trying to punish a doctor for performing a legal abortion on an 11-year-old rape victim because she couldn't get one in Ohio, a monster, are you?
That's like the tip of the iceberg when it comes to all the horrible things about Todd Rokita. But that is certainly one of the many.
Thankfully in America there are always more awful awfuls... at least you don't have Missouri's AG.
As a Missourian, I was about to suggest this same thing. Fuck that guy.
You mean Andrew Bailey, the AG trying to keep an innocent man in prison?
You know what's really disgusting? That these two are such big shitheads I know who they are by name, and I don't live in either state.
Two people. And tried to get a death row appeal summarily closed so they could execute him faster.
The vox article they cite is far more informative.
Apparently they actually sent instructions to the elections office that September 1 is the new deadline this year. The DNC's argument is essentially, they don't trust Ohio not to rescind those instructions or get a court order interpreting the extension to be a dead letter.
