I have a friend who was greeted last night at his door by someone wanting to know if he is a Nader supporter. He said, "Absolutely not.", and was told that his signature is on petitions for Nader this year. He has not signed anything for Nader since 1999. The guy who came to the door is a lawyer representing whoever is challenging Nader's signatures, maybe an SEIU attorney. Anyway, the guy took my friend's deposition right there on the front porch, then went on his way. Verrrrry fishy stuff!
Just found this report from the front page of today's Oregonian...
"A public employees union claimed Monday that it has uncovered widespread fraud in the Ralph Nader campaign's effort to gather enough signatures to qualify for Oregon's ballot."
"Nader's campaign discounted the allegations and said the Service Employees International Union -- which supports Democrat Sen. John Kerry -- is trying to intimidate its petitioners as a way of keeping the independent presidential candidate off the state's ballot."
