My god, enforcing the law, to prevent invalid Republican signatures from qualifying Nader. That's just.... just awful.
I can't believe that
anyone (other than Nader supporters, perhaps) are complaining about the Dems actions in AZ. If the shoe were on the other foot, I would put money on it guaranteeing the the Reps would do the same thing. And, frankly, they'd be right to do so. The signatures were
illegal. Those with a vested interest (in this case the Dems)
should challenge them and would be idiots to not do so. I am all for third parties being on the ballot. I have voted third party in two of the last three elections, and I most closely align myself with a third party (Libertarian). But, uh, how about at least making a slight effort to follow election laws to get on the ballot?!?!? Nader has no business being on the AZ ballot. Honestly, at first, I thought the Dems were being underhanded as well... until I learned more about the case. Some of these "illegal" signatures were so obviously and clearly a violation that it was an outright fraud by Nader and those who wanted him on the ballot. The Dems would have been morons had they
not challenged it.
