No crime was committed. The Democratic electors in PA were elected. The election is over. Patriot Obot is correct. Nothing will come of it and the issue is moot. It does nothing to help Kerchner other than to point out the PA Republicans are sloppy or don’t know the Constitution. It has exactly nothing to do with Barack Obama.

Minor correction, Earl: I think you meant, “It does nothing to help Schneller.”

Your point of course is entirely correct. At most this was a screw-up in the PA Republican organization. Trivial as it is, I would kind of like to know how long they sat on it.

However, assuming that the elector IS registered to vote in Maine, it is perfectly appropriate for a state resident attending school outside of the state to maintain their voter registration in their home state. The issue isn’t how much time they spend in one state vs. another — the issue is which state they intend to make their permanent home. The fact that the elector you wrote to was married and that her husband remained in Maine is a pretty good indication that her home (domicile) is in Maine, and that she is simply away temporarily while at school.

I had a letter to a Maine Elector returned with a forwarding address in Massachusetts. Apparently, the Elector is a graduate student in MA, over 100 miles from her official residence and husband in ME. I don’t know how this situation fits with the residency needed to be an elector. I don’t know how much time she spends in MA. That her mail is forwarded to MA indicates to me that she spends quite a bit of time in MA or that she had another reason to forward her mail, possibly to not be bothered with letters sent to Electors.

Other letters were returned for incorrect addresses, most without a forwarding address. No other letters were returned with an out of state forwarding address. Of course some of the publicly available addresses were simply inaccurate.

Can Electors maintain a permanent address in one state and live solely in another state? Cheney changed his official address to Wyoming although he probably lived in Texas.

You birthers hate Obama so much that you would throw out the entire election because Arlen Specter was listed as an electoral nominee. Your bias is showing.

First of all, I am not saying I hate Obama; I’ve never met the man personally, so I couldn’t hate him, that would be irrational. I completely despise his politics, but that’s another issue.

Secondly, concerning bias, I suppose your user name is not showing bias? Please. All humans have some bias all the time, so that’s a straw man argument.

The electoral college in PA was not illegal. Arlen Specter was not an elector because McCain did not win. The fact the Schneller would even mention this in his case shows weak it is. Of course the premise of the case is completely ridiculous since the PA electors have long ago voted. What part of done deal do you birthers fail to comprehend?

Had McCain won the state and Arlen Specter been found to be an ineligible elector Pennsylvania has rules in place to replace an ineligible elector or one who dies before casting their ballot.

No crime was committed.

Just because no “harm” was done does not mean no crime was committed. Webster’s definition of crime:

“An act or the commission of an act that is forbidden or the omission of a duty that is commanded by a public law and that makes the offender liable to punishment by that law”

In order for Specter to nominate McCain, he would have been required to file form DSBE PB-G AY below:

http://www.dos.state.pa.us/elections/lib/elections/010_running_for_office/2008/2008_state_nomination_paper_political_body_dsbe_pb-g_ay.pdf

He would have also filed form DSBE 209-A:

http://www.dos.state.pa.us/elections/lib/elections/010_running_for_office/2009/2009_district_nompet2.pdf

Both state under penalty of law that they claim to be legal electors under both county, state, and federal statutes and requirements. This violates PA Code § 171.21. That being said the Governor clearly understood Specter was not qualified (or should), and so did Specter.

Violation of the law is violation of the law. It is never moot, justified, or legal.

It appears that the document must be re-certified to comply with the Constitution. Remember, McCain is not eligible either, having been born in Panama…lacking jus soli.

Do you believe that the folks of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania can, in good faith, re-certify Electors for two men who are ineligible to serve as Commander in Chief? When Scranton native son Joe Biden realizes that he is TOP GUN, it will be a Great Day for America!

In appreciation of your diligence,

Joe

“That would be a crime against the people of Pennsylvania.”

No crime was committed. The Democratic electors in PA were elected. The election is over. Patriot Obot is correct. Nothing will come of it and the issue is moot. It does nothing to help Kerchner other than to point out the PA Republicans are sloppy or don’t know the Constitution. It has exactly nothing to do with Barack Obama.

Nothing will come of this. McCain lost PA and he lost the election. It is moot.

That would be a crime against the people of Pennsylvania. It’s not that McCain didn’t make it, it’s that electors were chosen against the requirements specified in the U.S. Constitution. It is not a moot point just because someone wasn’t elected. The fact still remains: the electoral college in PA was illegal. And, the proof is right where Soetoro’s COLB should be: in the National Archives.

As far as crimes, BOTH democrats AND republicans are guilty of the mess they have created. One cannot put their faith in either party as they have clearly revealed they do not speak for the American Public and they urinate on the Constitution, it’s values, and the laws of the United States of America.

Do you need a billboard sign with a giant blinking arrow to reveal this to your conscience?

This is a new site that lets you grade members of Congress and Write a letter to them as well.

The Site allows a for rule for grading and writing to one member of Congress day.

Obviously they all get an F because none of them will consider Obama’s eligbility.

This site was just talked about on MSNBC.

Definitely a means of avenue for conveying Obama’s ineligiblity issue.

Glad to see you are now documenting that it is the Republicans who are the ones who failed to follow the Constitution. This has been the trend in recent history with torture and the misuse of the Justice department under Bush.

Nothing will come of this. McCain lost PA and he lost the election. It is moot.

I see it from a completely different perspective. It doesn’t matter the party to which one belongs; it matters whether or not the Constitution is being followed for the good of the individual, not the good of “the public.”

I think if you want a law that defines what proof of eligibility must be produced by candidates, the way to go is a federal law, not a checkerboard of 50 different state laws. I also think a written definition of natural born citizen will require an amendment to the constitution.
