MADISON, Wis. (Legal Newsline) - Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said Thursday he will appeal a court ruling today that threw out his lawsuit to force officials to cross-check information on voter rolls.

"I believe today's decision was an erroneous interpretation of the law," the Republican attorney general said. "When a lower court gets the law wrong, parties appeal to a higher court, and that's what I will do.

In Arizona, the Secretary of State has responsibility for the conduct of elections. She would be the State official with standing to sue,

Why should the SoS, or any state election official, have to sue anyone. Just demand a birth certificate of all candidates wishing to run for President. No BC, no name on the ballot.Simple. Let BO sue to *not* need to supply his.
