“Birther” Wingnuts Bid to Remove President Obama from Georgia ballot in 2012

It’s like Election 2000 all over again!

In a desperate attempt at a political power grab is afoot in Georgia, wingnut “Birthers” have sued to have President Obama removed from the State ballot in November. The case(s) are being brought before Georgia Administrative Law Judge Michael M. Malihi. The case(s) are being brought by Orly Taitz and a sitting state lawmaker, Republican Mark Hatfield (Waycross).

On Jan. 3, 2012, Malihi, who consolidated several cases challenging Barack Obama’s eligibility to be placed on the primary ballot in Georgia, issued an order denying Obama’s motion to dismiss those challenges. He stated, “Because defendant’s motion to dismiss is denied, in the interest of efficiency, the court finds it unnecessary to wait for plaintiffs’ responses before denying the motion.”

A court hearing is scheduled to begin on January 26 in Fulton County, to determine if President Obama is eligible to appear on the ballot. The judge must make a ruling in the case by March 6th, which is the date of the Georgia Primary.

The judge will only be making a recommendation– Republican Secretary of State Brian Kemp, who is Supervisor of Elections, will be making the final decision as to whether or not The President will appear on the Georgia Ballot!
