The Arizona law only relates to presidential nominees of ongoing political parties.  Newly-qualifying parties don't need to bother submitting their presidential nominee's long-form birth certificate.  Neither do independent presidential nominees, or write-in presidential candidates.  Does anyone think this violates equal protection?
