Rep. Max Miller's Withdrawal Window Closes in Six Days
Facing allegations of domestic violence against ex-wife Emily Moreno, Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) said via livestream on Sunday that he has no intention of withdrawing his name from the November ballot.
But as the calls for Miller to step aside get louder, Republicans are running out of time to replace him on November ballots.
Ohio statute dictates that if a primary winner is to be replaced on the ballot by another Republican, Miller would have to withdraw and a new candidate would need to be named "not later than four p.m. of the eighty-sixth day before the day of the general election."
That's next Monday afternoon.
If Miller were to withdraw by tomorrow, there would be a special election to name a new Republican candidate.
If he withdraws after that but before Aug. 10, local party officials would instead get to pick Miller's GOP replacement.
