And it sounds like it may be another worthless one just like MDEC received.
It also sounds like the presumption of regularity on whatever verification they received is blown to heck already based on the request not being written as required. lol. We’ll see.
But if requests can be done over the phone and not written, then a verification truly IS a signed, blank check - where the person who requested the verification could later claim that they requested ANYTHING, and there would be no way to know what was really requested unless the phone conversation was taped. And even at that, there’s no way of knowing that the HDOH personnel heard or understood what was requested either. With nothing written down, there’s no way to know what was requested, to compare what was requested with what was actually verified.
I spoke with someone at Kobach’s office and it was clarified that though the jurisdiction of the Objection Board is over now, the jurisdiction of Kobach himself is not over and it is still up to him to decide whether he will accept a known-perjurious Certification of Nomination to be effective in accomplishing election fraud. The guy I spoke with agreed that it wasn’t that Kobach COULD NOT keep Obama off the ballot, but that Kobach is saying he WILL NOT. He said that a court challenge would be the next step if anybody wanted to continue with the issue. I said that if the courts were used the next step would be election fraud charges against Mr. Kobach. He said that would be an option. A very nice man in a cordial but intense exchange.
“The guy I spoke with agreed that it wasn’t that Kobach COULD NOT keep Obama off the ballot, but that Kobach is saying he WILL NOT.”
SoS Kobach’s statement that Obama is a natural born citizen is not surprising. There was never any doubt in my mind that he would rule Obama was an NBC. For him to do otherwise would be the same as saying that Senator Rubio and Governor Jindal are not NBCs. This guy has ambitions - Governor of Kansas? Senator from Kansas?, there was no way he would jeopardize that. That’s just the political reality. That portion of the argument is dead. If you cannot convince a guy with his credentials on immigration law about the definition of NBC, you will never convince any court.
As to the verification, it appears to me that Hawaii has decided to send a verification to any SoS who asks for one. Without having seen what Hawaii sent Kansas, it is hard to know what language they used, but I suspect they found a way around the Klayman letter.
