How do they think they can get around the fact that Pelosi sent out two DIFFERENT “Certificates of Nomination”????
(can’t wait to see Pelosi in an orange jumpsuit!)
Thanks for your work, butterdezillion...and jbjd, too.
And Pelosi knew that she had to sign a different certification for Hawaii because the Hawaii Democratic Party refused to certify Obama’s Constitutional eligibility.
I can’t find the link now, but somebody from the DNC was saying that the DNC relies on the state parties to check out eligibility, so if Pelosi signed a certification it was on the basis of the state democratic parties raising no objections.
But even that excuse doesn’t work for Pelosi because the very state which would know if Obama was eligible.... DID raise the objection, by refusing to certify his eligibility as they had always done for candidates in the past. They signed their certification of candidacy the day before Pelosi signed the 2 different certifications, as notice to the DNC that the DNC would have to certify eligibility.
Normally the HDP signed their certification of nomination (with certification of Constitutional eligibility) about a month after the national convention and hand-delivered it to their elections office. This time, they signed theirs (without certifying eligibility) before the DNC cert was signed and had the DNC send it all together to the Hawaii Elections Office.
And the HDP worker I spoke with refused to say who had approved their certification, who had typed it up, etc. Very defensive.
