On May 30, Ralph Nader filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, alleging that the Democratic National Committee, the Kerry 2004 campaign, 18 state Democratic Parties, at least 53 law firms, and several section 527 organizations, unlawfully coordinated their nationwide effort to keep Nader off the ballot in 2004. The complaint is 100 pages, and the appendices (i.e., evidence) are also very lengthy. Among other points, the complaint accuses the law firms with making contributions to the Kerry campaign that were never reported.
