A California attorney who leads a movement challenging President Barack Obama's citizenship plans to run for secretary of state in November.
Orange County Registrar of Voters Neal Kelley said Wednesday that Orly Taitz, a leader of the so-called birther movement, has qualified as a candidate.

Go Orly go!
Alot of things could happen here if she wins (smile).
Taitz is female.
I think you missed a few.
Pigs flying, hell freezing, Pope being Jewish, all come to mind.
I think the Democrats are hoping that as well.
Debra Bowen ceertainly hopes so ...
As a primary opponent or as opposition in the general election, Bown must be doing the happy dance at the thought of running against Orly Tatitz.
The land of fruits, nuts and flakes.
Is that real? I knew she was incompetent as a lawyer, but can she not read and fill out a one page form?

Is it true that the other Republican running, Mr. Dunn, was registered as a Democrat in Florida less that 12 months prior to declaring his intent to run as a Republican for SoS in California? Isn't it true that Per Ca. §8001(a)(2) he could not be affiliated with any other party for 12 months prior to his official declaration of candidacy? Wouldn't that, then, make Mr. Dunn ineligible to run for SoS as a Republican in CA?
I have no idea the truth of the matter. I did read that Dunn’s Florida registration expired in 06 when he failed to renew it. I have no idea if that is fact or not. However if so then the 12 months is cleared.

On non-football topics, Dunn speaks in excited and vibrant tones. Diverse political heroes include Martin Luther King, Barack Obama and Governor Pete Wilson. He remains a political novice, having never run for office previously. He first registered to vote as a Democrat a decade ago but never actually went to the polls until May of 2009.

Dear Sir:
May we know the party affiliation of a certain Damon J. Dunn. He was known as a Democrat, but he claimed to have switched to Republican.
Do we have any record that he changed to Republican? If we, when did he do it?
Thanks for any information.
Very truly yours,
Felicito Papa

Good morning,
In further response to your questions Mr. Dunn was registered as a Democrat and we do not show any change of party. Thank you, Jerry Holland
Do rules even matter any more?
According to the information from the article in post #55, he “went to the polls in May 2009.” If his registration expired in 2006, that would be problematic.

Taitz, though, hasn’t checked her facts. According to database records, Dunn registered as a Democrat in Jacksonville, Florida on May 12, 1999. Dunn spokesman Hector Barajas says this happened while he was playing football for the Jacksonville Jaguars and was snagged by a DMV “motor voter” registration drive.
Dunn’s Florida registration is now expired, according to Angelia Wiggins of the Duval County Registrar of Voters. According to Florida law, she says, if the registrar’s mail to your registered address begins bouncing back, as it did for Dunn, your registration becomes inactive. If you then fail to vote in two consecutive federal elections, your registration expires. That’s what happened to Dunn, leading his Democratic registration in Florida to become void on June 16, 2005.
Unless Dunn was registered elsewhere between then and now—and Taitz has presented no evidence that he was—Dunn should be fine, legally. Update 3:07 p.m.: We just checked whether Dunn was registered in Colusa County, where he used to live, in the town of Willows. He wasn’t.

State law requires Secretary of State candidates in a primary election to have been a registered member of their party for at least three months prior to running. Also, in the year before filing a declaration of candidacy, they can’t have been registered with any other party.
Dunn freely admits to being a “recovering non-voter” who made his voice heard at the polls for the first time in last May’s special election on ballot measures. He has said that he registered shortly prior to that election—as a Republican.
That checks out. OC voter registration records show Dunn registered as a Republican on March 17, 2009. He then voted absentee in the May 19 election.
So Orly is wrong again. Color me unsurprised.
In a word, no.
