For the 2012 general election, 27 states had Republican officials serving as Secretary of State or Lieutenant Governor, the two positions that also serve as states’ Chief Elections Officials with the power to determine who is eligible for any state’s ballot and who isn’t.
Only two Republican elected officials serving as Chief Election Officer bothered to check Barack Obama’s credentials: Arizona’s Secretary of State Ken Bennett and Kansas’ Secretary of State Kris Kobach. Both of those Chief Elections Officials requested and received Certified Letters of Verification In Lieu of Certified Copy from the Hawaii state Registrar and both officials then cleared Obama for their state’s ballots.
“At the request of numerous constituents, I merely asked Hawaiian officials to verify the information contained within President Obama’s original birth certificate.” “They have complied with the request and I consider the matter closed.”
“I didn’t do this for attention” and “if I embarrassed the state, I apologize.” But, what is so sacred or untouchable about this question that you can’t even ask the question?”
They were not certified. You cannot make an oath for somebody else.
