    In 2020 the Democratic Convention was also in August. They worked it out last time or maybe Ohio was just more agreeable in that election.

      There was no problem in 2016, because both major parties nominated in July. But in 2020, it was again a problem, because the Republican convention chose Donald Trump and Mike Pence on August 24 in Charlotte. Because of covid, that was a scaled down convention, with only 6 delegates from each state and proxy voting permitted. It is believed that the Ohio legislature passed a bill again setting an exemption for 2020.

      Yeah, it seems pretty dumb, but that’s what they got.
