Ten States!!!!....All combined, it's 107 Electoral Votes. They are taking the Arizona approach to ensure they are constitutionally qualified. I believe as a voter that America should have the best qualified candidates on the ballots. As things stand, the Constitution makes certain requirements about who can be elected President of the United States, but does not provide for any mechanism to ensure these requirements are met and avoid possible election fraud. Arizona has taken the lead with their bill that will require many stipulations for a presidential candidate to be on the ballots for 2012 and beyond.
[The Arizona bill also requires attachments, "which shall be sworn to under penalty of perjury," including "an original long form birth certificate that includes the date and place of birth, the names of the hospital and the attending physician and signatures of the witnesses in attendance."
It also requires testimony that the candidate "has not held dual or multiple citizenship and that the candidate's allegiance is solely to the United States of America."
"If both the candidate and the national political party committee for that candidate fail to submit and swear to the documents prescribed in this section, the secretary of state shall not place that presidential candidate's name on the ballot in this state," the state plan explains.]
