Typical. They call themselves "Democrats" but they don't want people to have a choice for whom to vote.

PHOENIX -- Two Arizona voters on Wednesday filed the first Democratic challenge to independent Ralph Nader's bid to get on a state's November presidential ballot.
The Democrats alleged that more than 70 percent of the 21,500 petition signatures recently filed for Nader are invalid, the Arizona Democratic Party said. Nader, a Winsted, Conn., native, needs 14,694 valid signatures to get on Arizona's ballot.
Democrats Dorothy Schultz and Betty Elizabeth Hughes also alleged in the complaint that some of those who circulated petitions for Nader didn't meet residency requirements and other qualifications, the party said. Several are prohibited from gathering signatures because they are convicted felons, according to the party.

What are the Democrats afraid of?
Typical. They call themselves "Democrats" but they don't want people to have a choice for whom to vote.
Two voters filed this? Sheesh, this is not news.
I thought the rats want the felons to vote???
Gee, I thought the democrats wanted every vote to count? Oh, I see, only after they decide who people can actually vote for.
DemocRATs don't want Nader to use the same signatures Kerry did.
It only takes one voter to file the suit. Why is it OK for felons to register voters for the democrat party but not OK for felons to collect signatures for Nader?
I live in AZ, let me know where my wife and I can go sign the petion for Nader to be on the ballot.
I thought the Democrats were trying to change the laws in ALL states to permit felons to vote.
Such selective memories they have.
According to our local radio talk host in Memphis the RATS are using paid people many of them convicted felons to register voters. Kinda like the pot calling the kettle black. It's an AP story.
I thought felons, the dead, illegals were a major component of the Democrat constituency. Vas gibs?
Unreal.
So the Democrats WANT felons to vote in FL, but NOT in AZ?
What is up with that?
They were not convicted felons before they were convicted felons.
This goes against the "spirit of Democracy". What an outrage by the Rats. /sarcasm
