The Secretaries of State in Arizona and Kansas who asked for Letters of Verification and then used them would disagree with you.
We are all waiting to see what Judge Wingate will do with his Letter from Onaka.
What difference does that make? The law is the law. HRS 338-14.3 says that HI SHALL verify what is submitted, with the condition that if they verify something it means that it is true. IOW, they must verify it if it is true; they must not verify it if it isn’t legally considered true.
And wanna know something about Ken Bennett? He told a Freeper that the reason the date wasn’t verified in that letter was because Onaka’s letter of verification had mistakes in it. IOW, Bennett claimed he knew better than the custodian of the record what was contained on that record. He DISAGREED with what Onaka said in the letter of verification and that is why he didn’t do anything about what Onaka actually said. IOW, Bennett said he DIDN’T believe the letter of verification and was going to go on what he believed rather than what Onaka actually said.
The KS SOS never had to make a determination because the challenger withdrew the challenge out of fear for his and his loved ones’ lives because of the threats he was receiving. Sound peachy to you? Is that the America you believe in? Sure as heck isn’t the America I’ve known and loved my entire life. Looks more like the Amerikkka that Snowden, Hastings, Rosen, etc are revealing that this regime is all about...
