Birther Report
2/6/2012
Excerpt:
"ATLANTA … Georgia Secretary of State Cathy Cox today ruled that House District 29 candidate Randy Sauder will remain on the ballot as a Democratic candidate in the 2000 General Primary and General Elections. In an order signed today Ms. Cox ruled against a challenge to Rep. Sauder’s candidacy brought by petitioner Marston H. Tuck.
Secretary of State Cox rejected state administrative law judge (ALJ) Michael Malihi’s initial decision in the Sauder matter, which procedurally serves as a recommendation to Secretary Cox, the state’s chief elections official. Ms. Cox found flawed the ALJ’s interpretation of Georgia election law governing the qualification process for candidates, and endorsed the opinion and guidance of Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker. Attorney General Baker has opined that it is legal and permissible for a candidate to, during the period in which candidates submit documents to their political parties, withdraw their Declaration of Candidacy with one political party and re-submit it with another."
