what does a California court have any business with a federal law possibly broken by an Illinois resident who was born, supposedly, in Hawaii???

I too believe in the Kenyan connection but this is not it.

You know what they say about California?

As it goes, the nation follows?

I wish!

Mr. Obama has sought Electors in California. The question is this: "Is Mr. Obama eligible to have California Electors awarded to him?

Each and every Sec of State has to certify the votes in their particular state.

Other suits were brought in other states over the same issue, but I think they went nowhere due to “standing”.
Kalifornia has a different level of “standing” to bring a lawsuit.

"Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress:".

The states are partners in the election process. They conduct the popular elections and then certify the electoral votes sent to the President of the Senate. This speaks to both tasks. Selecting the electors, (IOW, was an elector pledged to an ineligible candidate properly chosen? And if so, must they cast their vote for that ineligible candidate?) and secondly, should the SoS see to that only persons eligible for the office get his/her states' electoral votes.
