Previous versions of the New York State Board of Elections website that listed the qualifications for the Presidential Candidates to be a Natural Born Citizen have not only been scrubbed, but their website has html source code embedded to prevent archiving and specifically coded so as to be excluded in archival sites such as the Way Back Machine.



(Robot Text – embedded in NY BOE website to thwart access to Natural Born Citizen reference)

The Board of Elections website cites Article II Section 1 as the Constitutional authority for Presidential requirements; however the reference to Natural Born Citizen has been replaced with just “Born a citizen” and they do not list Clause 5 which was specifically included by the Framers as a strong check against dual allegiance and foreign influence for the Office of the President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief:

UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION

ARTICLE II  SECTION I CLAUSE V

 

“No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

The New York State Board of Elections regularly updates their website.  And you can use an internet archive program called the Way Back Machine to see some of the previous versions of the Board of Elections website as it existed during various times in the past.  However, not all of the previous webpages are available; and it is not due to broken links.

The Board of Elections is employing technology within the computer programming language that makes up the website to actively block someone from gaining access to the webpage that previously listed the Natural Born Citizen requirement for the Presidency.

"How can I have my site's pages excluded from the Wayback Machine?"

Here's how:



Natural Born Citizen Requirement - EXCLUDED

Here is the actual code extracted directly from the Board of Elections website as of

Tuesday October 4^th, 2011:

Rows 10-11

<meta name="googlebot" content="noarchive" />

<meta name="robots" content="noarchive" /> 

Here is the source code for the Presidential candidate requirements:

Rows 111-115

<td headers="1">President of the United States</td>

                        <td headers="2" valign="top">Born a citizen</td>

                        <td headers="3" valign="top">35 years</td>

                        <td headers="4" valign="top">14 years in country</td>

                        <td headers="5" valign="top">United States Constitution Art. II &sect; 1</td>

The Internet Archive

"This webpage is no longer available," is the sentence familiar to you?

"This is no longer a problem since a complete archive for webpages is now available. Through the Internet Archive, you can retrieve expired webpages, trace the development of websites, and go back to events that have shaken the world."

Really

Additionally, previous versions of the Board of Elections website have also been “BLOCKED” and can’t be accessed from the Internet Archive at the New Library of Alexandria, Egypt,
which mirrors The Wayback Machine:

A closer examination of the exclusion policy reveals the typical response by the Internet Archive when having been made by a GOVERNMENT request: 

Archivists will exercise best-efforts compliance with applicable court orders.

Beyond that, as noted in the Library Bill of Rights:

'Libraries should challenge censorship in the fulfillment of

their responsibility to provide information and enlightenment.'

Therefore, according to the Internet Archive exclusion policy; if the New York State Board of Elections made a request to have webpages excluded that would block access to historical references to the term Natural Born Citizen as a requirement for Presidential candidates, the request should have been denied. 

By removing the reference to Natural Born Citizen as a requirement for a Presidential candidate from the Board of Elections website, that in and of itself is indicative of a concerted attempt to mislead the voters.  However, a directive had to have been issued to the person programming the website to implement a technological blockade specifically designed to thwart current and future attempts to gain access to any previous versions of the website that include the Natural Born Citizen reference; pointing to a cover-up and a broader conspiracy by the New York State Board of Elections.

This deceptive practice by the New York State Board of Elections is antithetical to Bill A04356, an ACT to amend election law in the State of New York.  Introduced on February 2, 2011 by M. of Latimer in the 2011-2012 Regular Sessions in Assembly:

 Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 3-106 of the election law, as amended by chapter 8 of the laws of 1978 and as redesignated by chapter 9 of the laws of 1978, is amended to read as follows:

 

 1.  (A)  In  addition to the powers and duties elsewhere enumerated in this article, the state board of elections, after public hearings, shall adopt a "fair campaign code" WHICH SHALL SET forth ethical standards of conduct for persons, political parties and committees engaged in election campaigns including, but not limited to, specific prohibitions against  practices of political espionage and other political practices WHICH INVOLVE subversion  of  the political parties and process, SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE MISREPRESENTATION OF THE CRIMINAL RECORD OR BACKGROUND, MORAL TURPITUDE, CHARACTER, VOTING RECORD OR OTHER SPECIFIC ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF A CANDIDATE, TO A POTENTIAL VOTER

N.Y. ELN. LAW § 6-122  Designation or nomination; eligibility, restrictions

p.171

“A person shall not be designated or nominated for a public office or party position who if elected will not at the time of commencement of the term of such  office or position, meet the constitutional or statutory qualifications thereof”

It is obvious that the New York State Board of Elections is intentionally misleading the voters of New York for the purpose of subverting the Constitutional requirement for the Office of the President while also trying to cover their tracks at the same time.

The U.S. Constitution can only be changed through the amendment process.

The Board of Elections is currently a defendant in a case before the New York State
Supreme Court brought by plaintiff Christopher-Earl Strunk, pro se.
