It may be a simple case that the FEC accepts the COLB as legal proof. After all, if real, it is a legal document authorized by the State. I really doubt they will trump something they get from the State with a bunch of blogger speculation.

Could be ... but I don't believe the FEC's charter is to establish qualifications; they're just in business to ensure that the election machinery itself is operating according to law.

I believe that the matter of qualifications is left up to the States; and in that case, I would think that at least one of those offices would have positively established the qualifications of ALL candidates on their ballots.

Which raises the question: with all of the lawsuits and hoo-raw, has anybody bothered to ask their local SoS whether or not they've certified eligibility?

The FEC charter does NOT include verification of candidate eligibility!

What agency (or agencies/organizations) are charged with the duty of verifying candidate eligibility?
