Arizona Goes Birther: Secretary Of State Says Its Possible Obama Wont Be On Ballot
Nick R. Martin May 18, 2012, 10:53 AM
The man in charge of running Arizonas elections has gone to the birthers. Secretary of State Ken Bennett now says hes not convinced Barack Obama was really born in the United States and so he is threatening to keep the president off the ballot in November.
Bennetts comments came in an interview late Thursday with conservative radio talk show host Mike Broomhead on Phoenix station KFYI.
Bennett said he was following the lead of the states eccentric Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a fellow Republican who ordered an investigation into the presidents birth certificate last year and concluded the document released by the White House is a forgery. Bennett said he is now trying to get verification from state officials in Hawaii that the certificate is authentic.
In doing so, Bennett caved to a fringe group of activists and writers who believe in a conspiracy theory that just never seems to die no matter how much proof they get. Hawaiian officials have said time and again that Obama was born there in 1961, yet the theory persists.
