Ohio hangs tough...
This will, assuredly, go to SCOTUS.
The difference between this and the attempts to bar Trump from being on the ballot is that Ohio's refusal is based on state law, rather than supposed, unproven, unprotected allegations.
CanWill SCOTUS force Ohio to change its law or grant a waiver? -

I am, however, reminded of the old adage an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
I am, however, reminded of the old adage, don't start no shit and won't be no shit started.

It raises the question of why the Democrats don’t just submit a non provisional certification…
Unless, of course, they don’t really expect it to be Biden…

I knew the Ohio legislature would tell them to pound sand. There's no reason for them to bail the Dems out. Could we be seeing the beginnings of a Democratic January 6?

Yeap, Ohio’s ballot access rules are well known to the Democratic Party well ahead of time. It’s their own fault for not planning accordingly.

There's a history of the legislature providing a temporary but legal solution, but that was when it affected both parties.

Also, considering the actions of Maine and (?) Arizona to keep Trump off the ballot, I would think the GOP majority in Ohio are not inclined to play nice.

I think that may be true, but what about any other candidate? Even if they pull a convention switcheroo, a name still won't be submitted by the deadline.
Maybe the surprise factor is worth writing off Ohio?

Yeah, what are the odds that POTATUS could carry Ohio?

Yeah, but it kills their down ballot.
This isn’t rocket science. Put Biden and Harris on the ballot in Ohio. If the Dems somehow won Ohio, then have the electors vote for whoever comes from the convention.
