Even after releasing his long-form birth certificate in April 2011, Obama is still being questioned about his birthplace, most recently by several Republican candidates in North Carolina.

Richard Hudson, a GOP candidate in the race to unseat Rep. Larry Kissell (D) in the 8th Congressional District, made headlinesin April when he told a Tea Party group “there’s no question President Obama is hiding something on his citizenship." TheCharlotte Observer reports one of his challengers, Dr. John Wheatly, recently called Obama's birth certificate a "poorly reproduced forgery."

Jim Pendergraph, a candidate who recently campaigned with "America's Toughest Sheriff" Joe Arpaio in his effort to win North Carolina's 9th Congressional district, said he has "reason to be suspicious" about Obama's birthplace.
