They fear what Arpaio knows.
I don't expect anything "official" to be coming from Hawaii anytime soon.
Will this SOS of AZ have the balls to actually strike Obama from the ballot if he gets no official statement from HI ? Doubtful, IMHO.
What is the AZ law regarding write-in candidates ?
If write-ins are allowed and require manual counting of all ballots, you just know some Dem in AZ is going to say the SOS is just causing unnecessary additional election expenses for which there is no funding. Obviously, anyone who wants to vote for Obama is just going to write-in his name rather than vote for one of the other candidates already printed on the ballot.
