Is it too late to remove President Joe Biden from the ballot? | VERIFY

If you've scrolled around on social media, you might have stumbled upon posts such as this one from X. In it, the user shares a picture showing a number of states, including Alabama, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington.

"More bad news for Democrats; Biden cannot be replaced on ballot in three swing states," writes the user before including Georgia, Nevada, and Wisconsin to the list.

But is that true? Let's VERIFY.

We reached out to the Pennsylvania Department of State and Dr. Stephen Medvic, a government professor at Franklin&Marshall College, for this piece.

According to Pennsylvania Election Code, the Secretary of State has at least 70 days before the election to provide counties with the names of all known candidates that will appear on the November ballot.
