If the post is bogus, it is bogus based on citation of bogus information at Obama Ballot Challenge, and as such is not persuasively attributable to underhanded intent on the part of the FR poster, and that is what seems to be insinuated when terms like "smell a rat" are brought into the conversation.
You may very well be right about the information being bogus, for whatever reason. We'll see.
Would the link in post #57 have an update?
That post has it listed on the court calendar:
Thursday February 23, 2012
Case # C20121046
Judge: Gordon, Richard E.
Time: 9am
Defendant:Democratic Party
Nelson, Brad R.
Obama, Barack
Plaintiff:Allen, Kenneth
So there is indeed a case filed.
Updated info here.
It may be quixotic, but I don't think that makes it "bogus".
Thanks for the link, HTN.
