    to keep Biden on the ballot.

    I think this should be “to put Biden on the ballot.” He is not currently the one the ballot, as he is not the Democratic nominee — the nominee is chosen at the party’s convention, which hasn’t happened yet for the Dems.

        This is like the “millions of dead people voting”. It’s not a thing. There are no states that do this. There’s no reason to, it takes days to print ballots, not 4 months.
