It was a proceeding before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) to gather factual information/evidence and make a report and recommendation to the Georgia Secretary of State (who is not bound to follow that recommendation) as to whether to grant or deny the ballot challenge.

I haven't heard anything further, so I imagine that either the ALJ hasn't made his report/recommendation yet or that the report/recommendation is not being made public. My guess is that its the former and when the ALJ gets around to making a report/recommendation, we will hear about it.

Kemp (GA SoS) now can either look even more of a crazy person by trying to take Obama off the ballot (which would then make it go federal and be overturned in a second) or can back down from his birther insanity and gain the scorn of the birthers... Either way, the rest of us will still think him an idiot.

He was a home builder/contractor and land developer (apartments and subdivisions) before jumping into GA Republican politics.

Did you now that Max Cleland (a former Georgia senator and a true hero) was also the former GA SoS? Oh, that Georgia had such an honorable and good person as the SoS now.

It's not a ruling. It was an administrative hearing. He is to make his recommendation to the Georgian Secretary of State.

On good thing is that he already issued a statement that he doesn't have the authority to require Hawaii to give Oily Taintz access to Obama's records.

Both parties have until Feb 1st to add to the records so I don't think we'll hear too much about it until next week.
