The Constitution has no requirements as to documentation. This is no doubt because the Founders assumed the Electoral College would actually function as intended, and any proof of eligibility would be demanded by them.
In actual fact, of course, the EC never functioned as intended, except in its first two meetings.
We have had almost four years now since the last election. We have 50 states. Any one of those states could have passed a law spelling out required documentation to be on its ballot. None have.
To me that indicates quite clearly that we aren’t really serious about the issue.
if we aren’t going to uphold article 2 section 1... then the Constitution is in breach
if the Constitution is in breach... then all laws stemming from it are null and void
there is a reason millions of Americans expect the Constitution to be upheld
To me that indicates quite clearly that we aren’t really serious about the issue.
First of all, who is this “we”? Second of all, people are interested, but those whose job it is to see that laws are upheld are disgusting cowards.
