The procedures may have been followed, but the procedures have been found to be lackadaisical and allowed an unvetted man to be on the ballot.

Therefore the remedy is to vet him now and to ensure that proper vetting takes place going forward. You have heartburn with the attempt to vet him now. The idea that the citizenry do not have standing to have proof of eligibility is a gross misreading of the law.

"The procedures may have been followed, but the procedures have been found to be lackadaisical and allowed an unvetted man to be on the ballot."

So change the procedures.

"Therefore the remedy is to vet him now and to ensure that proper vetting takes place going forward. You have heartburn with the attempt to vet him now. The idea that the citizenry do not have standing to have proof of eligibility is a gross misreading of the law."

You don't get to dream up new constitutional requirements just because you've suddenly decided after the fact the old ones weren't good enough. See my prior comments about trying to redefine the constitution and ignoring the law.

Where is you legal basis for a procedure to "vet him now"?
