Did you see in the brief where a SOS removed a 27 year old candidate was to young to be on the ballot as well as Eldridge Cleaver being removed from the California presidential ballot in 1968 for being to young? The Alabama Secretary of State has a duty to investigate the candidates to see if they qualify.
I’m visiting relatives and using as 7” tablet, so I’m limited in the research I can do. Were those two candidates removed as the result of an investigation (for example, were there birth certificates requested?) by the SoS, or was the information presented by the candidates on their own? From the little I can quickly find, they stated they were underage and so the SoS excluded them. They were taken at their word. There was no investigation. That differs from this case in which Obama is not being taken at his word.
