“How late would be too late to replace Biden on the November ballot?”

Great analysis by Jessica Huseman at Votebeat, digging into the state laws in several key states. A snippet:

Other news media so far have amply covered the question of how, under the Democratic Party’s rules, Biden could be replaced before the convention (highly doable, if he hands the campaign over to Vice President Kamala Harris) or at the convention (very unlikely, unless he willingly exits)….

But looking deeper into the world of elections, we still wanted to know: How late is too late to replace Biden’s name on the ballot?

The answer, as with most things in election administration, is that it depends on the state. It’s hard to point to a single clear deadline, but one thing is clear: The logistics of replacing Biden on the ballot become harder the longer the party waits.
