“Assuming the Democratic party formally chooses a presidential nominee before or during the Democratic national convention, there are no legal barriers to that candidate being on the general election ballot nationwide,” Adav Noti, the executive director of the Campaign Legal Center, a non-profit that works on election issues, said in a statement.
“In all 51 jurisdictions, the deadline to name the presidential candidate falls after the nominating date at the convention. Legal actions attempting to block the nominated ticket from appearing on the general election ballot would have no merit and would be rapidly disposed of by the courts.”
A memo from the Wisconsin Elections Commission reviewed by the Guardian, for example, says a candidate for president needs to be sent to the commission by 3 September, giving plenty of time for Harris or others to file. A spokesperson for the secretary of state’s office in Georgia said there weren’t any limits or “bumps in the road” for a new presidential candidate there.
