Why the loop hole? It seems like the loop hole will allow someone, even born in Indonesia or Kenya - to be on the ballot. So, what’s the point?

“Why the loop hole? It seems like the loop hole will allow someone, even born in Indonesia or Kenya - to be on the ballot. So, what’s the point?”

I’m not sure. I don’t know if the supposed “loophole” is merely an election law attorney’s (maybe a Democrat?) interpretation of ambiguous drafting, or the article author’s view, or if that’s really the case.

It does seems like a waste of time though if it really is the case, because they’re back to relying on party officials certifying things again. But hopefully, more states will ponder taking action on this matter- with laws that will have teeth.
