Politics Kemp says Obama will remain on ballot, makes birthers cry
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 1:43 PM
Those thumping sounds you're hearing? Those are birthers across the country pounding their fists in anger against their Dells covered in coffee stains. From the office of Secretary of State Brian Kemp:
Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp today issued his final decision on challenges contending that President Barack Obama does not meet the State of Georgia’s eligibility requirements for his name to be listed on the 2012 Presidential Preference Primary ballot.
Secretary Kemp stated, “After careful consideration of Administrative Law Judge Michael Malihi’s initial decision and all record evidence based on the criteria set forth in this process, I find that the Respondent, President Barack Obama, meets the State of Georgia’s eligibility requirements. President Barack Obama’s name shall remain on the Democratic Party’s 2012 Presidential Preference Primary ballot.”
Moving on.
