Including Roger Calero in this case makes a lot of sense. How the heck did the Secretary of State allow a foreign born candidate on the ballot? His ineligibility as a presidential candidate is not in question. he also appeared on several other state ballots. That may be why they are considering it.
They may order states to make sure they put valid candidates on future ballots.

I don't know. This case certainly highlights that there is no authoritative body to determine whether a presidential candidate is constitutionally qualified prior to an election. If it's up to each SoS, then some (those that put Calero on the ballot) are obveiously not doing their job.
If these SoS's were so careless with this one candidate, how comfortable can citizens be that any candidates on the ballots are eligible?
