Donofrio’s case is actually about challenging the NJ election process where the eligibility of the candidates was not checked and at least one completely ineligible candidate was certified eligible by the iodiot NJ authority, Wells. If the SCOTUS can ignore that, there is no force left in the Constitutional requirements for president.

That's exactly it. If Secretaries of States don't verify eligibility and put somebody non-qualified on the ballot then THEY are responsible for people wasting their votes. They've caused voter disenfranchisement by not duly ensuring that the people in their states are able only to vote for candidates who are qualified for the office.

Whoever voted for Calero should sue her or the state of New Jersey because their vote was never going to count.

It seems to me that the decision the SCOTUS is making is whether the responsibility for vetting a candidate is assumed by the SOS of each individual state and territory or by the Party (DNC) who nominates the candidate.

It would be prohibitive and almost impossible for each state to investigate each individual candidate. Even if copies of their original birth certificate were used each state's procedures differ.

OTOH the political parties have the money and time to vet their candidate....Not only that they should be held legally responsible for each individual that runs on their ticket.

With that in mind, I'm betting that the cases naming individual SOS will just be referred back to their states with reprimand and the Berg Case naming BO and DNC will have higher precedence.

That ought to be addressed, but I could see where they might choose to disregard it because no substantive harm was done (i.e., that candidate was not elected, nor did he receive NJ's electoral votes).
