Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has signed a measure to ensure President Joe Biden will appear on the state ballot in November.

DeWine, a Republican, signed the measure — which relaxes a state candidate filing deadline — Sunday along with a related bill that imposes a ban on foreign nationals contributing to state ballot campaigns. Both will take effect Aug. 31.

The Republican-dominated Legislature had approved the two measures last week during a rare special session. The contribution ban had been demanded by the Senate, which approved the measures Friday, a day after the House passed them.

    Right, but the fact that it was noteworthy in the news cycle then that McCain had that level of decorum against his own voting base is what I was speaking to. DeWine came out with tact and decorum to handle this non-issue, too. Voters back then were hanging and burning Obama in effigy.
