well, i'll assume you know that the "money spent" thing is a false talking point and has been refuted many times over and just skip that part.
the fact is he produced it right away. you have to in order to officially be a candidate for president. it passed official muster then, and was thus "immediately produced". but just as jim crowe laws went, no matter how official and valid, it doesn't count if it is not approved by the two klansmen at the polling station.
and there was no resistance. he was purposely waiting to produce it. he was playing chess. you guys missed that while you were playing checkers
