Biden will get on the Ohio ballot via the courts. Just have to find a couple of Biden-friendly judges. Not hard to do.
But democracy!

Have they never been to a Cracker Barrel? That place is full of biscuits and gravy … and crackers.
There's good reason to be skeptical of claims that Christian thing X is really smuggled-in paganism, because there can be incentive on both sides to make those claims. Obviously, there's an incentive for some people to undermine Christianity by calling traditions into question, but the funny thing is that some Christians also have an ulterior motive to call those things pagan. It can be a way for some believers to be more spiritual; more pure than other Christians. There are other Christians that hear about supposed paganism, and their incentive is that it's easier to ditch the eggs or the Christmas tree than to actually do the research. (My church eschews eggs and rabbits during Easter, which I'm OK with, even though I doubt the claims of a pagan origin.)If there's Biblical backing for a particular tradition then maybe it's worth getting wound up about. If there isn't, at minimum it probably isn't important enough to get real invested in from a religious standpoint. Even if it is a family tradition that you enjoy.
