   I think Republicans should definitely keep complaining about how deeply unfair it is for poor old Donald Trump to have to compete against supercandidate Kamala Harris because that is a great fucking message.

     Actually this would be a good poll.

     I changed my mind. Didn't like the tone.

     @smkellat they will definitely lose the cases. But they also lose on messaging: saying that switching candidates is unfair to Trump implies that Harris is a strong candidate who can defeat Trump. It's just a dumb thing to say in public in an election year.

     @evan The answer from the Ohio perspective is no, these threatened lawsuits are simply meritless threats. The Ohio Secretary of State was threatening to leave Joe Biden off the ballot earlier this year due to the lateness of the Democratic National Convention up against Ohio’s nominating deadline. The outcomes of the primaries here in Ohio didn’t matter then and don’t matter now. Even our ballot says you’re electing pledged convention delegates rather than a candidate.
