POSTED: 6:37 pm EDT September 2, 2004

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The Florida Democratic party is suing the state and Ralph Nader to keep him off the November ballot, saying that the Reform Party's nomination process was a sham.

The suit says the Reform Party is not a viable political party and that Nader was never nominated at a convention, which is required by state law to get on the ballot. Democrats and Republicans agree that Ralph Nader’s presence on the 2000 ballot cost Al Gore the presidency.

The Democrats say the Reform Party nominated Nader during a conference call last June and then held a Maddox also says the Reform Party is just a loosely organized group of people. "It would be the same if a bunch of my buddies that I watch football with got together and said we are going to nominate you for president."

The Reform Party submitted its paper work to the state election officials Tuesday to get Nader on the ballot. The lawsuit also names Secretary of State Glenda Hood and Gov. Jeb Bush, who must certify the ballot.

If all else fails, bring in a team of lawyers...

The Democrats should change their name to the Fascist Party.

The maggots will try anything to win, will they not???

So now they are trying to RE-DEFINE Florida election law??? Kinda like when Bush won there.....

Let every vote count! _{unless it isn't for a democRAT, of course}

I'm pretty tired of the liberals and their lawyers.

Screw all this "democracy" BS blather; the Founding Fathers covered it quite well.

Just read Article 31, Section 8, of the United States Constitution:

"Only Democrats are allowed to appear on any state ballot."

Something to ponder....Nader picked up very few votes from registered democrats, compared to the large number of votes that Bush picked up from registered democrats...

I've always thought that the democrats tried to blame Nader rather than face the fact that not only could Gore not carry his home state, but he couldn't carry enough democrats in Florida to win.

Very easy to stick your head in the sand.
