On Friday, Ohio’s top election official warned Joe Biden’s campaign that the President’s campaign could fail to get on Ohio’s general election ballot if they miss a key deadline.

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, a Republican, warned top Democratic officials that their party’s national convention is set to occur over a week after the deadline for certifying a presidential candidate in Ohio.

“The Democratic National Convention is scheduled to convene on August 19, 2024, which occurs more than a week after the August 7 deadline to certify a presidential candidate to the office,” LaRose wrote to Ohio Democratic Party Chairwoman Liz Walters, according to the letter first obtained by ABC News.

“I am left to conclude that the Democratic National Committee must either move up its nominating convention or the Ohio General Assembly must act by May 9, 2024 (90 days prior to a new law's effective date) to create an exception to this statutory requirement,” LaRose legal counsel, Paul Disantis, wrote in the letter.

Biden’s campaign told ABC that they were “monitoring the situation in Ohio” but remain “confident that Joe Biden will be on the ballot in all 50 states.”

The Ohio Democratic Party has yet to respond publicly to LaRose's letter.

This comes just days after an internal memo revealed that the Democratic party was panicking that its “nonpartisan” voter registration efforts were potentially aiding former President Donald Trump. 

Democrats have become concerned that Trump is pulling support from demographics that have historically voted blue, with donors bickering over an internal memo, questioning whether the party should continue using nonprofits to register unregistered voters over fears it could help Trump, the Washington Post reported.

“Indeed, if we were to blindly register nonvoters and get them on the rolls, we would be distinctly aiding Trump’s quest for a personal dictatorship,” the memo alleged, casting doubt on the longstanding Democrat voter registration push that typically has resulted in favorable results in previous elections.

The memo instead argues that Democrats should focus these efforts only in “specific, heavily pro-Biden populations.” The Washington Post added that “the rise in Trump support among nonregistered voters has run up against a long-held Democratic policy priority of growing the voter rolls.”

Concerns that these “nonpartisan” voter registration initiatives could potentially benefit Trump is sparking criticism from those who argue that the registration efforts were a “partisan scam” from the outset.

Jason Snead, executive director of Honest Elections Project, remarked to Fox News, “Left-wing strategists inadvertently admitted the true nature of their ‘non-partisan’ left-wing voter registration efforts, which have always been highly partisan operations designed to aid Democrats.”

“This acknowledgment raises serious questions about other programs the left claims are ‘non-partisan,’ including President Biden’s executive order utilizing taxpayers’ funds to mobilize liberal voters,” he added. “The media should take note of and remember this rare moment of candor from the left the next time they decry ‘voter suppression.'”

Investigative researcher Parker Thayer shared a response to the report on X, saying, “Democratic donors are now receiving memos advising them to cease funding voter registration nonprofits because unregistered voters tend to favor Trump. It’s all a partisan scam.”
