BREAKING:Conn. court upholds Obama's place on ballot. Associated Press November 3, 2008 HARTFORD, Conn. - A Connecticut judge dismissed a lawsuit Monday that alleged election fraud and questioned whether Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama was qualified to appear on the ballot for Election Day.
State Supreme Court Chief Justice Chase T. Rogers dismissed the case after hearing testimony from the state and a Greenwich man who bought the action.
The plaintiff, Cort Wrotnowski (raht-NOW'-skee), challenged the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate. The lawsuit is similar to at least seven others filed in state courts across the country that cite a lack of evidence that Obama wasn't born in the U.S.
Officials in Hawaii have said there's no doubt the Democratic presidential candidate was born there
