LAWSUIT TO PROVE OBAMA’S CITIZENSHIP
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008
Alan Keyes, an opponent of Obama in Illinois’ 2004 U.S. Senate Race, filed a lawsuit in California asking the state to withold their electoral votes until evidence is shown proving Obama’s citizenship. Though a little out there, a candidate does need to be a natural-born citizen. California had 55 electoral votes. Obama won with 365 electoral votes. Minus California he would still win with 310 votes. In order to lose, another 40 votes would have to be taken away. The next nearest state to that number is Texas with 34 votes. To say it’s a longshot would be an understatement. Though, if Obama is not a citizen then he technically can not be president. I wouldn’t count on it though.
