The Democratic National Convention is scheduled to convene on August 19th. The presidential election this year is November 5th. That's 79 Calendar days between the Democratic Convention and election. There are seven states which may become a problem for Biden (or whoever else is chosen) unless Democrats change their convention date.
In Ohio, their deadline is 90 days before the general election. "Major political parties must certify to the secretary of state on or before the 90th day before the election names of the candidates for president and vice-president"
In Alabama, the deadline is 82 days before the general election.
