Description | PHOENIX (AP) - Critics of President Barack Obama used a ceremony to record Arizona's Electoral College votes Monday as a new opportunity to voice their doubts over his eligibility to hold the nation's highest office, an issue that officials have repeatedly attempted to put to rest.
All 11 Arizona electors cast their votes for defeated Republican nominee Mitt Romney, who won the state's popular vote.
The state Republican Party chairman and two other Electoral College members spoke up during the ceremony to voice doubts about Obama's eligibility as a native-born U.S. citizen.
College member Don Ascoli, who recently finished serving as Republican Party chairman in Gila County, said he didn't think Obama was "properly vetted as a legitimate candidate for president."
Hawaii officials have certified that Obama was born in that state. White House officials also have released Obama's birth certificate in an attempt to get past such questions. |
