(Dec. 2, 2011) — On December 1, 2011, Atty. Orly Taitz provided The Post & Email with first-hand updates on actions she has undertaken in Georgia, New Hampshire, and Hawaii regarding Obama’s name being placed on the 2012 presidential ballot in those states.

A tentative schedule of Republican 2012 primaries and caucuses is here. Along with nine other states, Georgia’s presidential primary takes place on March 6, 2012. Taitz, who is an attorney and dentist from California, is running for U. S. Senate against long-time incumbent Dianne Feinstein.

Taitz had just returned from Hawaii, where a hearing was held on November 30 in front of Judge Rhonda Nishimura regarding Taitz’s request to inspect the original birth certificate which the Hawaii Department of Health allegedly has on file for Barack Hussein Obama II. Taitz contends that Obama is using a stolen social security number and therefore may not ever have had a valid U.S. birth certificate.

Taitz was in New Hampshire on November 18 for a hearing in front of that state’s Ballot Law Commission, which decided there and then that Obama’s name would remain on the ballot because he had completed his Declaration of Candidacy and paid the $1,000 filing fee. However, in both 2008 and for the 2012 presidential election, two candidates were disqualified due to their respective births in foreign countries by the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s office.

Atty. Taitz reported:

In Georgia, the deputy chair judge of the Administrative Court, Judge Michael Malihi, entered my motion to represent plaintiff David Farrar pro hac vice. Even though I do not have a local attorney as a co-sponsor, he did allow me to represent him. I submitted paperwork showing that I ma licensed in California with the Courts of Appeals, and he granted it. He gave me an extension to prepare. I also asked for a leave of the court to file an amended complaint, and he granted that as well. So far, he granted three of my motions. He set a tentative date for trial from January 12-16, 2012.

This is a ballot challenge in the state of Georgia and will be decided by an administrative court.

In New Hampshire, I got a script of the hearing. I am in touch with a state representative. We have satisfied all of the requirements to file with the New Hampshire Supreme Court. I will be filing a case against Obama’s designation on the ballot with the Supreme Court, and several state representatives will be joining me.

I just came from Hawaii; I flew red-eye there and back. I filed a ballot challenge there and a specific petition with the chief elections officer of the State of Hawaii. There are a couple of citizens of the state of Hawaii who co-signed it with me. Everything is posted on my website. According to their rules, they are supposed to provide a public hearing, so we are waiting for that date.

We had a hearing with Judge Nishimura in the First Circuit Court in Honolulu. As you know, the state was pushing to dismiss the case to deny my motion for reconsideration, claiming it was frivolous. So far the judge did not grant their request.

When we had a hearing first thing, the deputy attorney general, Jill Nagamine, brought an oral motion to forbid cameras and TV in the courtroom while the case was being heard. She said, “These people are birthers; their complaints are frivolous, and we shouldn’t be encouraging them by having TV there, and we should not allow TV recording of the hearing.â€
