Today, Ralph Nader chose Matt Gonzalez as his running mate. Gonzales is the former President of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. He was one of the highest-level Green Party elected official. Gonzalez ran unsuccessfully for Mayor of San Francisco in 2003. He did not run for reelection and left the board in 2005. His supervisor seat was taken over by another Green Party member, Ross Mirkarimi.
On February 28, a U.S. District Court in Michigan issued an injuction, prohibiting the Secretary of State from giving the list of Republican presidential primary voters, and the list of Democratic presidential primary voters, to those two political parties. The case had been filed by the Green and Libertarian Michigan parties. The law says the lists can only be distributed to the two major parties. The judge would not have granted the injunction unless the judge felt it likely that the minor parties will prevail, in their claim that the law governing distribution is unconstitutional.
