I believe the fogbrain crew had an involvement in this. I believe I had read that they were sending information to the Judge's staff, and one or more of them are known to be attorneys in the Area, so I have no doubt they mounted a back door defense for Obama and steered the judge towards their compiled "evidence."
I would hope the plaintiffs can explain this to the SoS. He could deny the conclusions of the ALJ if he feels it wasn't given a fair shake.
Had the ALJ given him cover, I think the Secretary of state would have supported a decision to keep Obama off the ballot. Since the ALJ didn't, it will be the SOS out there all by himself. I very much doubt he will decide to endure as much bile and vitriol as will be directed at him.
He's going to decide Obama is eligible. That is my prediction.

I don't doubt this. One of the fogbow crew was posting something about "you won't like the outcome" as if he already knew what was going to happen several days earlier. There was a similar incident when Montana (or maybe another state) was looking at changing their ballot requirements to force the submission of a long-form BC to get on. He was citing something that he insisted had happened but was not posted at the site where it would have been posted.

It would be funny, and actually appropriate, to see Kemp throw Judge Malihi under the bus. "Judge Malihi was supposed to perform the simple of duty of presenting me with Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. He has failed in both circumstances, opting to express his own personal agenda. We are seeking his removal from office and will deny Obama to be on either the primary ballot or general ballot for lack of evidence."
