(“The Secretary of State of Georgia is not given any authority that is discretionary nor any that is mandatory to refuse to allow someone to be listed as a candidate for President by a political party because she believes that the candidate might not be qualified.”) Similarly, no law gives the Secretary of State authority to determine the qualifications of someone named by a political party to be on the Presidential Preference Primary ballot.

This argues that there is no controlling legal authority, and that even if Obama is ineligible, there is nothing you can do about it.

That’s exactly right. Obama’s lawyers has got Georgia backed into a corner now. Apparently the plaintiffs over looked the case Terry v. Handel, 08cv158774S which states apparently, there is no requirement that the candidate be “eligible” to be President in the state of Georgia. Primary winners do not take office. The outcome of a primary merely determines the composition of a slate of delegates to a party convention — again, by internal party rules. The Georgia Superior Court would have to ignore its own ruling in Terry v. Handel in order to find anything other than that Kemp has no power or discretion whatsoever to exclude Obama from the ballot base on eligibility claims.
