Due to an oversight Andrew Yang will not be on the Democratic Presidential Primary ballot in March in the State of Ohio. The Ohio Secretary of State, Frank LaRose, has explained that Ohio law requires the petition for being placed on the ballot to be submitted alongside a statement from the candidate that he is running for the office of President of the United States, which the Yang campaign apparently failed to do and does not dispute.

As the filing date has already passed the petition was denied and cannot be amended, however the campaign believes that an exception should be made in this case because the petition was submitted with three times the required number of signatures suggesting a large support for Yang in the State.

No other candidate had their petitions denied and Andrew Yang has now launched a write in campaign in the State.

Trump would eat up Yang for breakfast its for the better he fades into obscurity.

Biden should be the nominee because he deserves what Trump will give him... creepy Joe Biden.
Bernie is a great guy but socialism does not work

The ability for one State to vote for a Presidential candidate, for another state to not vote for that candidate at all.

Makes me wonder, has there ever been an US president who was not on the ballot in all states?

Its funny how quickly a republican politician decides that an obscure law is super important and ironclad while at the same time blindly supporting the brazen criminal in the White House

Wait, are you implying this is about a Republican Party Member influencing an internal Democratic Party election?

Im just saying this obscure law that most residents of the state have never heard of doesnt seem to be serving residents of Ohio well when it is used to exclude a candidate whose campaign gathered triple the number of required signatures to get on the ballot

Yet the very clear and serious crimes committed by the trump administration are openly ignored by senators literally bragging to the public that they are biased jurors and plan to do whatever they can to help the president regardless of any facts or evidence

Im not sure how obscure it is considering all of the other candidates followed it correctly and presumably candidates have been doing so for years without issue.

I cant believe theyre charging $7 for that.

if he really had so many supporters then he can compete via write-in.

if he can't even do this right, he shouldn't be president

Would be a waste of a space anyway.

Considering he can't top5 despite giving away money, Yang wouldn't even make it to breakfast.

Pretty sure he'd be available as a write-in candidate.

He's just a primary candidate and not even close to being a real contender.

There'd be virtually no political incentive for a Republican to do it, considering Republicans benefit from a splintered candidacy where joke candidates like Andrew Yang help to split the vote so a weaker candidate can get the party nomination thus ensuring Trump coasts through an easy re-election. Keep in mind that the DNC tries to weed out candidates for this very reason.

...most residents aren't going to be familiar with most electoral laws.
