Great job! It really sounds to me like the secretary of states are liable, and therefore they should be the target of the lawsuits. An official demand to the secretary of states to show why they are legally satisfied that the candidate meets the requirements as set forth by the consitution! I’m telling you, they should be the defendants.
They are, mostly, arbitrarily deferring to the candidates and/or party’s declaration for nomination. They have the perfect authority to demand proof if they so choose. In fact, I believer they have the obligation.
But if the states won’t follow through, we the people have every right to force the issue. And we will.
