The people who COULD have received electoral college votes, such as other candidates, not just McCain and his running mate.


The only one of them to sue was Alan Keyes (Keyes v Bowen). Keyes had standing in this suit but the court ruled against him ON THE MERITS and not only did Alan Keyes lose, the court awarded Barack Obama $520 in legal fees!

From the Court’s judgement:
“IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED:
1. That the First Amended Petition for Writ of Mandate is dismissed;
2. That respondent Secretary of State Debra Bowen shall recover costs in the amount of $350.00 pursuant to Government Code section 6103.5;
3. That respondent President Barack Obama shall recover costs in the amount of $520.00;
4. That respondent Vice-President Joe Biden shall recover costs in the amount of $520.00;”

Keyes v. Bowen wasn’t ruled on the merits of Obama’s citizenship but whether it was the job of the Secretary of State to check the eligibility of federal candidates. This says nothing about Obama being eligible.

A measly $520 in fees? Whaaaaat? I thought Obama was spending millions!

Wait, wait, I know. The judge only awarded Obama that tiny sum in order to hide the true amount he's spending on birther lawsuits. He must be in on the conspiracy!/sarcasm
