I just discovered this news release and hadn't seen it reported elsewhere. Our honorable Judge Malihi evidently has a tradition of being overruled by the Secretary of State. Could history repeat itself ... or maybe like the Obots have claimed, this judge is incompetent???
June 7, 2000: Georgia Secretary of State Cathy Cox today ruled that House District 29 candidate Randy Sauder will remain on the ballot as a Democratic candidate in the 2000 General Primary and General Elections. In an order signed today Ms. Cox ruled against a challenge to Rep. Sauder’s candidacy brought by petitioner Marston H. Tuck.
Secretary of State Cox rejected state administrative law judge (ALJ) Michael Malihi’s initial decision in the Sauder matter, which procedurally serves as a recommendation to Secretary Cox, the state’s chief elections official. Ms. Cox found flawed the ALJ’s interpretation of Georgia election law governing the qualification process for candidates, and endorsed the opinion and guidance of Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker.
She gives several points of law as to why she rejected the ALJ's decision. This one really stood out:
"First, accepting the view of the ALJ would mean that a candidate can determine his or her own qualifications ... "
Is this not deja vu all over again??
The source is a press release from the Georgia Sec. of State (and its title doesn’t relate well to the point the OP is trying to make)...
“Secretary Cox Rules to Keep Randy Sauder on Ballot in State House District 29 Race”
Since most articles posted on the “Latest Articles” page are current, the moderator may wish to add “(in 2000)” to the title the OP made up, as a clarification.
Yep...I read the article not just the title.
The note was for the ping list, didn’t want them to pop the champagne corks just yet.
Perhaps after he is beaten in a landslide in November the truth will come out.
I have no doubt that Romany will fold half way through the campaign. Just like Dole and McCain. (I hope I am completely wrong.)

For the sake of clarity, perhaps the headline should read “...has history of being overruled...”
Isn’t this SOS (Kemp?) one of Soros’ lefties?
It was shared to show that the ALJ's opinion on the current case may not automatically be accepted as binding.
He’s a Republican.
Very interesting!
This case shows:
1. That Malihi has been the go-to guy in the admin law courts since at least 2000.
2. That the SOS left the finding of fact undisturbed, as would the appeals court, IMO, but the Malihi conclusions of law have been disputed and reversed.
3. The SOS deferred to the recommendation of the GA AG.
This begs the question of what the GA AG has recommended or will recommend regarding Obama. I haven't seen that yet.
We have no choice but to beat the Kenyan at the ballot box.
There is another choice and it's the one going on right now...keep him off of the ballot in the first place!
@Atlanta Forward: Sam Olens, Republican for attorney general
One thing I think is literally the management ability to keep people on the same page, form a consensus and do so in a very efficient manner.
I guess I'm going to have to add something to that with your comments as the insipration.
No celebrations quite yet. Just more of the same...continue to distract, continue to try and convince everyone it's pointless and useless to continue 'cause a decision has been rendered and we'll just have to beat him at the election instead of stopping him from getting on the ballot in the first place.
I wonder: if the SOS deos not allow little barry bassturd onto the Georgia ballot despite the ALJ ruling in barry’s fabor, albeit a screwy ruling, would little barry dare appeal that decision since it would mean having to expose his criminality in a real courtroom? Not likely. But then we are giving the current SOS the benefit of a doubt perhaps not deserved, since barry’s henchgoons can reach out and touch even a retired marine judge to make him rule ignorantly.
Missed it by that much. (6 seconds) /Maxwell Smart

Who is Judge Michael #Malihi?
Immediately after hearing that Georgia Judge Michael Malihi ruled against the Plaintiffs in the case regarding Obama’s eligibility to be on the 2012 presidential ballot, and hearing that Malihi was a Muslim Iranian, I decided to find out all I could about him. I set out to find all the details I could...
What I found was precious little...
Incredible? Well, not really, ‘they’ must have started scrubbing his background immediately. (If there ever was one!)
And THAT suggests there’s something there we shouldn’t know, correct?
