Nader files lawsuit in Maine: Democrats targeted for campaign tactics
http://www.bangordailynews.com/detail/134189.html

AUGUSTA, Maine — The 2004 presidential election may seem like ancient political history to many by now.

But if former candidate Ralph Nader has his way, some of the nasty, behind-the-scenes campaign tactics in the 2004 race for the White House will be re-aired later this year in, of all places, a courthouse in rural Washington County, Maine.

Nader has filed a lawsuit in Washington County against the Democratic National Committee and its former leaders, the Maine Democratic Party, the Kerry-Edwards campaign and others alleging the defendants used illegal and malicious tactics to attempt to keep Nader off the ballot in Maine and more than a dozen other states.

The court filing in late November — more than five years after the 2004 election — begs two important questions.
