"too late the issue is in the Secretary of State’s hands now."

Unfortunately, not.

"There's no possibility of Obama's name coming off the ballot when there's no objection," Kobach said.

Kan. man drops challenge to Obama on state ballot

http://www.necn.com/09/14/12/Kan-man-drops-challenge-to-Obama-on-stat/landing_nation.html?&apID=dd46f34a4c7b46889f732dee437fb672

Secretary of State Kris Kobach serves as the board's chairman.

"There has been a great deal of animosity and intimidation directed not only at me, but at people around me, Montgomery wrote in his email, adding that he doesn't want to burden personal and professional associates with "more of this negative reaction."

Montgomery's plans to drop his challenge were first reported by the Manhattan Mercury. The Objections Board would be the final word on whether Obama appears on the ballot as the Democratic Party's nominee, absent a court challenge. Kobach and its other members, Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer, are all Republicans, and Montgomery is a registered Republican, according the secretary of state's office.

Kobach said the board still will meet Monday to formally close the case and add whatever additional information is available to the record.

"There's no possibility of Obama's name coming off the ballot when there's no objection," Kobach said.
