More to the point, Burges would require the secretary of state to verify, independently, that the information is accurate.
"And if it's not certifiable, then that person's name would not go on the ballot," she said.
Seems simple enough. The candidate provides a copy of his stamped, certified birth certificate to the Secretary of State who then verifies this information with the vital records office of the state that generated the birth certificate. Not quite sure how this will keep Obama off the ballot in 2012.

Well, since the State of Hawaii has officially confirmed that Obama was born in Hawaii, that sort of answers that question (of where he was born) for a lot of people who were questioning and doubting that.
So, for those people, who have already heard the official statement from the State of Hawaii that Obama was born there -- it won't help them. They already know that now.
I guess it will help those who may doubt it and want further "confirmation" from some printed and certified copy from the State of Hawaii to that effect. So, maybe that will satisfy that small segment who are holding out for a certified paper copy of the birth certificate to be delivered to someone to examine and then verify that indeed this is what the State of Hawaii did print and certify.
I just think it's a good idea for all candidates, whether it's Obama or the next candidate to come down the pike.
