The secretaries of state have the responsibility to place qualified people on the ballot for the STATE primariies. OB was not vetted in Cal, by the admission of the sec of state's office and the word of the parties was accepted.

Prior to last year the state of Cal had removed two presidential candidates because their birth certificates showed they were too young to run for president. The birth certificate is part of the best evidence to establish whether or not someone is natural born.

The failure of anyone to vett OB or the other candidates has opened up the system to fraud and corruption. All we need is for the fraud suspect to reveal his documents and we can move on (and I don't mean dot org). The fact that he refuses, means we need a court or someone else (perhaps a burgler) to force him to do so.

THOSE RESPONDING TO 534, I WILL NOT REVEAL MY SOURCES OR MY EVIDENCE. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW, GET A COURT ORDER. YOU DON’T WANT OB TO REVEAL, SO WHY SHOULD I?

Er, which is it? Do states determine who is eligible to be listed on the Presidential ballot, or not?

(The answer turns out to be "yes, they do". Presidential electors are ultimately elected by the states; there are, strictly speaking, no "national" elections.)
