I believe Nader's run in 2008 was in response in part to the Pennsylvania case. I honor him for his tenacity in seeking justice and fighting for national ballot access laws that insure freedom of speech for candidates and voters.

Ballot access laws across the country are insane and differ from state to state. Why is it okay to get 800 signatures in one state and 75,000 in another, along with all the complicated criteria that comes with it? If third parties entered the playing field, it would change things completely, but power does not cede easily. It's sickening to see this happening in what is supposed to be a democracy and one where we're sending people to die in other countries. Nader is taking on an enormous task for all of us. We must stand behind him in any way we can. I can only summise there is a conspiracy in this country to block third party candidates.

This would be a fitting final law suit for Nader et al and the third party ballot access effort. Obama obviously knew that he had a problem needing special care (coverup) just as apparently Chester Author did over a century ago.
