If there is birth certificate evidence that Sen Obama was not a native-born American, we can assume he knew that and was the reason for the reluctance to publicize it. Therefore, he would have perpetrated a fraud on the electorate. Therefore his electors have been chosen as part of a fraud. I would think that all those electors would be disqualified. I’ve have seen no posts challenging the electors involved in a fraudulent scheme. It doesn’t make sense that they should then have carte blanche to vote for whomever if their election was based on a fraud. Is there some precedent?

I see the EC like a very temporary elected congress... they are representatives of the people for the distinct purposes of choosing a president. They were duly elected unless you can prove direct voter fraud.
This does bring up something else kind of interesting though... some states by law REQUIRE the electors to vote based on who won their state. This of course pretty much defeats the purpose of having the EC, and we may find out this year why thats not a good thing. Unless there are special circumstances written in for electors of these states, they could be in a real pickel.
So not only the possibility of ejection from the inaugural ball...but jail time to boot??
And does anyone know if Kenya even issued certificates of live birth in the 60’s? (just curious) It seems most people think the Hawaii paperwork is fishy.. but that may be the ONLY paperwork there is. no?
No, when you vote for a Presidential candidate, you are really voting for an elector pledged to that candidate. If the candidate they are pledged to is found to be unqualified prior to the Electoral College meeting, what happens to the electors is probably up to the Party.
