Right! Here we are arguing the BC, when Donofrio’s case was re the NJ Sec/State sidestepping the laws! If this was clear-cut why did the Court deny it?

I have a theory: The NJ law may not actually stipulate the extent to which the SOS there must verify the qualifications. It could very well be written in such a way as to permit the very practice that most of the states -- if not all -- are using: trusting the political parties to have vetted their candidates.

That’s logical. And since this problem never arose before, it wasn’t anticipated. Those who were close to 0 helped conceal info also.

I see a potential problem for relying on the SOS of each of 50 states to determine eligibility. Financial as well as logistical. Therefore IMO, Berg case seems to be stronger. That the burden/fraud belongs to Obama, the DNC, and the FEC. They should be held liable. The SOS just receives the message, THEY produce it.....

OTOH all SOS should verify what they are given, to illuminate fraud.
