Nader couldn't find 25,000 signatures when he knew they were required? What a loser.
Nader was kept off the ballot in Oregon by the Democrat Sec of State, Bill Bradbury, even though he had plenty of valid signatures. When Bradbury found that Nader had plenty of valid signatures, Bradbury just changed the rules for numbering the petition pages. Voila! Nader was off the ballot.
Nader supporters filed a lawsuit and won their case in district court. But Democrats appealed to the state supreme court (intentionally not capitalized) and they essentially said that it was perfectly okay for a Democrat Sec of State to engage in felony election tampering in the State of Oregon. I hope that's remembered when voters see Bradbury's name on the current ballot.
Just another morality story from Vera Katz's little cradle of Islam on the Willamette.
