McCain: Put Nader on Florida Ballot

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., urged the Florida Supreme Court to allow Ralph Nader's name on the state ballot after it hears an appeal Friday by the independent presidential candidate.

A state judge rejected Nader's efforts to be on the ballot as the candidate of the Reform Party, which the judge said is no longer a legitimate national party under state law. The state supreme court said it will issue a ruling shortly after hearing the appeal.

"I believe it would be a mistake to let a set of inequitable ballot rules keep a legitimate presidential candidate off the ballot," McCain said in a statement released Thursday night by The Reform Institute, a political and educational organization he chairs.

"These obstacles discourage public participation in elections by denying voters the right to vote for their preferred candidate. Keeping Nader off the ballot in the hope that his voters will be forced to support another candidate is patently unfair to those Floridians who, for whatever reason, have decided he's their man," McCain said.

Democrats have challenged efforts by Nader to be listed on the ballots in more than a dozen states.

Many blame Nader for Democrat Al Gore's loss to Republican George W. Bush in the 2000 election, especially in Florida, where Bush won by just 537 votes. Nader drew more than 97,000 votes in the state.

TALK ABOUT VOTER SUPRESSION!!!!!!!!

Hog

This will be great. Now Rick can complain that Katherine Harris stole the election in 2000 and one of his fine cigars in 2004!

See you in November, Hemingway.

....Back on the subject of vote suppression....

Notice whose lawyers want Nader off the ballot and why there must be a decision today....



Florida Supreme Court expected to rule on Nader's candidacy

The Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The Florida Supreme Court is expected to rule late Friday on whether Ralph Nader will be on the state's November ballot as the Reform Party's presidential candidate.

During oral arguments before the court early Friday, the attorneys representing the state Democratic Party argued that the Reform Party is no longer a legitimate party under state law and his name should be stricken. Attorneys for the Reform Party say that it is.

The court is hurrying its decision because under state law, county elections supervisors are supposed to mail absentee ballots to about 25,000 overseas voters, most of them military personnel, by Saturday.

I rest my case! Democrats wanting EVERY vote to count? from New York to Florida, how many times?

In a crushing defeat to the vote suppression efforts of the Florida Democratic Party.....


Florida Supreme Court puts Nader on election ballot

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Ralph Nader is back on Florida's ballot - probably for good this time.

The Florida Supreme Court ruled 6-1 Friday that he can run as the Reform Party presidential candidate in the November election.

The decision met a Saturday deadline for mailing 25,000 ballots to overseas voters, most of them military personnel, and ended a dizzying two weeks during which Nader was on and off the ballot.

"This is a case that should have been thrown out of the courts sooner," said Nader campaign spokesman Kevin Zeese.

Not to Mention the 12 other States the Dems have fought to keep Nadar off the Ballots... but this isn't supression by any means...

it's going to be something to watch how Kerry and company do their acts to keep the Absentee Military Ballots from counting....

usahog

it's not voter supression.

go home nadar, you've done your job. time to rest.

Yo Rick:

Why do you get so worked up over elections, when you don't vote?

JonR

"usahog it's not voter supression. go home nadar, you've done your job. time to rest."

Rick Please Inlighten me as to what it's called?? when the Democrats go after a man to keep his name and party off a Ballot?? and this would not allow his party Voters to vote for him in their Area's??

Until you can prove it differently this is Vote Supression and Pushed From the Democrats Machine...

Hog

Gee, Nader on the ballot is alot like Bucanan (SP) on the ballot in 2000! But the Dems weren't trying to keep HIM off! (of course, neither were the Republicans!)

It amazes me that ONE old fart Republican with some outdated and antisocial views is evidence of a widespread stragegy in the GOP, but a concerted effort by the DNC in multiple states backed by heavy funding is NOT!

Thom,

I was on topic in my post. I said the only voter suppression that I've heard about was in the 2000 election.

Are you actually trying to say that voter suppression has already occurred in an election that has not yet occurred?? Or, are you insinuating that the nasty, evil, filthy, dirty Republicans would stoop to illegal activities to subvert the vote.

The most famous vote subverters have always been democrats. I grew up in the south and have seen it first hand. Issues continue to be raised in southern counties in Florida where voting irregularities are the norm. And... let's not forget about that conservative bastion of civilization, Chicago... where the Daly's have been in control for decades.

Take your accusations of voter suppression and shove them up your voting booth.

Cheers,
