[Jack Black]

From the FEC Website on the Electoral College:

After their caucuses and primaries, the major parties nominate their candidates for president and vice president in their national conventions traditionally held in the summer preceding the election. (Third parties and independent candidates follow different procedures according to the individual State laws). The names of the duly nominated candidates are then officially submitted to each State's chief election official so that they might appear on the general election ballot.

It would seem to me that the "States top election official" logically has some responsibility to certify that the submitted names meet the statutory requirement to run for the office. However the people in the Washington Sec. of States' office seem to imply that they do not do any checks. They stated clearly that "we have no regulatory, investigative or enforcement capability".
