Standing
According to Blacks Law Dictionary, standing to sue means that the party has sufficient stake that the party is sufficiently affected - in an otherwise justiciable controversy to obtain judicial resolution of that controversy. Standing is satisfied if the plaintiff has a legally protectable and tangible interest at stake in the litigation.
Many of the cases challenging Sen. Obamas citizenship status have been dismissed for lack of standing.
Plaintiffs in Broe v. Reed claim standing pursuant to the authorization given them by the legislature of Washington in RCW 29A.68.020(2). This statute creates standing for Plaintiffs to challenge the election of a candidate who has been elected but was ineligible at the time of his election to run for the office.
The duties of Washingtons Secretary of State
The Secretary of State is declared, under RCW 29A.04.230 to be the chief election officer for all federal, state, county, city, town and district elections. The Secretary of State is required by law to . . . coordinate those state election activities required by federal law. Read more

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
12 Washington voters sue to set aside the election of Barack Obama in Washington.
Bellevue, WA, December 10, 2008 On December 4, 2008, James (Jim) Broe and 11 other Washington voters sued Secretary of State Sam Reed in the Washington Supreme Court, seeking a Writ of Mandamus to require the Secretary to set aside the votes cast for Senator Barack Obama. The Petition charges that at the time of the election, Senator Obama had failed to establish that he was a natural born citizen of the United States as required by the U.S. Constitution, failed to establish that he was an American citizen, and that he was not running under his legal name of Barry Soetoro.
The Petition as amended claims that because Senator Obamas father was not an American, but a British citizen at the time of the Senators birth, the Senator was disqualified him from being a natural born citizen as that term is understood under U.S. laws of nationality. Read more

Broe v Reed47; December 6, 2008 James Broe and 11 other Washington voters have filed in Washingtons Supreme Court to have the votes cast for Senator Obama set aside, because he failed to establish that he was even an American citizen running under his own name at the time of the election, let alone a natural born citizen as required by the U.S. Constitution. Unlike other cases that have been dismissed for lack of standing, these plaintiffs have standing under a unique Washington statute that allows any registered voter to challenge the election of someone who, at the time of the election, was ineligible to hold the office.
The Secretary of States office has already admitted it did nothing to determine Senator Obamas eligibility, and Senator Obama hasnt produced a single piece of evidence to prove he was born in the United States that would establish his eligibility, although the burden to prove his eligibility was placed on him by the rules of the national Democrat Party. Counsel for the plaintiffs Stephen Pidgeon had only a two word comment: case closed!
