The Spin
Democrats have been so preoccupied with trying to keep former president and presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump off presidential ballots that they’'ve forgotten to keep up with standard ballot access procedures. Democrats did this to themselves and now they're reliant on the sympathies of Republicans. It's karmic payback for what Democrats have tried to do to Trump.
The GOP is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill and it would be a truly dirty trick if it dragged its feet here and caused the president to be excluded from November's ballot. This problem has arisen in the past and the legislature did the right thing. Doing the wrong thing here might even bring blowback to Republicans, so they should take the high road.
