      Do you think it is still open? Any new candidate is going to get “sorry, our state’s deadline has passed - we’ll remove Biden from the ballot, but can’t possibly register the new person” from some critical states, it’ll get litigated throughout the rest of the year, and the supreme court will eventually rubber-stamp it.

      From Wikipedia: “Although the Ohio ballot access issue was resolved, the DNC has stated that it will continue with a virtual roll call vote [1-7 Aug] in order to avoid litigation from Republicans”.

        The two states that applied to both pushed back their deadlines explicitly to accommodate the Democratic National Convention - so yes, it’s still open.
