This email exchange from 08 is what has had me on this since then. And her, Karen's testimony, directly contradicts what she did in 08. She disqualified a candidate because he admitted he was not born in the US.

No we did not. Candidates sign a declaration of candidacy and we accept that. Mr. Mohamed; however, submitted a biography of himself stating that he was born in Egypt.. -----Original Message----- From: Greg Goss [mailto:Gwg1955@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 9:46 AM To: Elections Subject: Re: Presidential Ballot Rules So you are telling me that you verified all candidates documentation for eligibility under US Constitution Article II? ----- Original Message ----- From: Elections To: Greg Goss Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 9:32 AM Subject: RE: Presidential Ballot Rules Mr. Mohamed was disqualified because he was born in Egypt; therefore he is not a natural born United States Citizen. -----Original Message----- From: Greg Goss [mailto:Gwg1955@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 9:22 AM To: Elections Subject: Re: Presidential Ballot Rules Thank you very much for the reply. I have one question. On your website it list the candidates that filed http://www.sos.nh.gov:80/presprim2008/candidatesfiled.htm. One candidate, "Sal Mohamed" is listed as "Disqualified". What was the disqualification for?

To be a candidate on the NH PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY ballot, a candidate must file a declaration of candiday and pay a $1,000 filing fee during the filing period which usually occurs in late October or November of the year preceding the presidential primary eleciton.

Mr. Mohamed was disqualified because he was born in Egypt; therefore he is not a natural born United States Citizen. -----Original Message-----

This will mark the third attempt at obtaining information concerning the election of federal offices that appear on NH ballots. I have two questions.

1.) What is required for a candidate for President to appear on the NH ballot?

2.) What is the process for meeting or verifying those requirements?

Your attention is required and much appreciated.
