One of the millions of campaign contributors would have to bring the lawsuit. Unless Berg is one of them and an innocent contributor—not just one who contributed solely to bring the lawsuit—then he has no standing to pursue the suit. Standing means that the plaintiff has suffered real, tangible, measurable damage due to the fraud, unrelated to the costs of bringing the lawsuit, and I don’t think Berg can demonstrate this. Millions could, absolutely, but they would have to bring a separate lawsuit against both Obama and the DNC. That doesn’t help Berg. Now if Obama wins and it comes out that he is disqualified, perhaps McCain and/or the RNC could make a claim but I don’t think it helps the presidential succession.

Berg addresses the argument he lacks standings saying that the failure of the Federal Election Commission and the DNC to investigate Barack Obama and his campaign, which has fraudulently taken in more than $400 million all the while knowing that he cannot serve as president, runs afoul of 5 USC §702, which states, in relevant part, that "[a] person suffering legal wrong because of agency action, or adversely affected or aggrieved by agency action within the meaning of a relevant statute, is entitled to judicial review thereof."

Would a former candidate for President 2008 count?
