Kansas Birther Case Ends After Joe Montgomery Withdraws Objection to Obama On Ballot
Surprising Twist In Birther Case


A Kansas man who filed an objection with the state to President Barack Obama appearing on the state's ballot, is withdrawing his objection.

Joe Montgomery's decision, which he communicated in an email to the secretary of state's office Friday afternoon, ends a process that caused the all-Republican Kansas Objections Board to vote unanimously Thursday to seek further information before making a decision on whether Obama could be on the ballot.

Montgomery told The Huffington Post Friday afternoon that public reaction to the complaint led him to decide against continuing. He declined to say exactly what was said in the calls and emails he received, but indicated that people who knew him both personally and professionally were also contacted about the complaint.

"But we are in Kansas, and Kobach has been waiting for this moment for a long time. The pretense that this has any validity and needs further investigation is ridiculous. Kobach seems to enjoy this type of thing. It panders to his base of birthers."

Mah told HuffPost she believes the episode has hurt the state's reputation. "They are making Kansas a laughing stock again," she said, referring to Kobach, Colyer and Schmidt.

[Operative word: "AGAIN"...]

At Kansas Birther Hearing, Birther Queen Smacked Down..Again

WASHINGTON -- In a meeting dominated by birther queen Orly Taitz, the Kansas Objections Board voted unanimously to accept President Barack Obama's citizenship and retain him on the state's presidential ballot.

The all-Republican board voted to accept a withdrawal of an objection to Obama's eligibility that was filed by Kansas State University employee Joseph Montgomery and accepted paperwork submitted by Obama's campaign attesting to the president's citizenship. Montgomery withdrew his objection on Friday, saying that he and his family had received threatening phone calls.

According to observers the board tried to conclude the meeting quickly, but Taitz interjected herself into the discussions, which Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the board's chairman, allowed.

Manspeaker noted that Kobach, an informal advisor to Mitt Romney, was clear in telling the roughly 25 people in the room that the purpose of the meeting was to accept Montgomery's withdrawal. Under state law the objections board meets whenever an objection to a candidate is filed.

"She kept talking. He could have removed [Taitz] from the room but politically that was a bad move for him," Manspeaker said of Kobach, a Tea Party favorite who helped write Arizona's immigration law. "The one thing I will say is that he attempted to do everything right. He tried to spell out what was happening." Manspeaker did note the irony of Taitz objecting to Kobach's actions.

"You had the birther movement going up against the guy who is a right-wing supporter," he said. "You had the birther movement calling him phoney baloney."
