A website devoted to the details of the Ohio Nader ballot access litigation has just been established at think link. Ohio’s Supreme Court is still considering whether to put Nader on the ballot. The issues are whether the state’s petition-checking procedures are so hopelessly flawed; and whether it is constitutional to ban out-of-state circulators.
Ralph Nader dropped his legal bid to get his name printed on Idaho’s general election ballot.
The decision to drop the latest lawsuit came just a day before a court hearing on the Nader claim that petition signatures were wrongly disqualified.
Nader did file papers to be a write-in on November second. As a write-in four years ago, he got two and a half percent of Idaho’s presidential vote.
The court did not issue an opinion. Instead, it filed a brief order rejecting Nader’s motion asking the high court to get involved.
The Nader campaign still is seeking relief from the 7th Circuit.
Both Washington and California voters will be voting on whether to restrict the general election ballot (for office other than president) to only two candidates. Ralph Nader, campaigning in Washington state, again reiterated his opposition to the “top two” initiative in Washington state.
