AZ's much-mocked (deservedly) Secretary of State, Ken Bennett has ended his quest with an apology to the people of Arizona.

Well, not entirely, but he and the AG in Hawaii had a chat and got things worked out.
“If I embarrassed the state, I apologize, but that certainly wasn’t my intent,” Bennett said in an interview with Phoenix radio station KTAR. “He’ll be on the ballot as long as he fills out the same paperwork and does the same things that everybody else has.”
Bennett said he still intends to keep asking Hawaii for verification that Obama’s birth certificate is authentic. But he said he only plans to use Hawaii’s answer as a way to satisfy demands from constituents who remain unconvinced Obama is a natural born citizen of the United States and so therefore eligible to be president.
He also said he talked to Hawaii’s attorney general on Monday night and clarified what he is looking to have verified. He said he “reworded” his request and expects to receive a response from Hawaii officials “in the next 24 to 48 hours.”
In other news, Arpaio has sent a flunky on a Hawaiian vacation to continue the 'investigation', continuing his history of arrogance and ignorance.
