    There are states that require candidates to register by a date that is often before the nominating conventions. Those states have always passed one-time exceptions when that occurs. If they choose not to in this case, using the last minute change as political cover, it could be a legal grey area, and who knows how it would play out with today’s judicial system.

    On the other hand, those are red states that a Democrat wouldn’t win anyways.
