Democratic State Chair Questions Integrity of Signature Gathering Process

Nader Campaign Files Petitions Today

CONCORD, NH – Today the Nader campaign filed its nominating petitions in the Secretary of State’s office. Democratic State Party Chair Kathy Sullivan raised questions about the integrity of the process in which the ballot signatures were gathered.

«We will continue to look at the signatures closely. In state after state, Ralph Nader has accepted petitions, funds and help from the Republican Party and engaged in questionable tactics. Based on the information we have there are significant irregularities with the petitions submitted by the Nader campaign today, including evidence that many petitions were obtained under false pretenses. Unfortunately, this is consistent with what has been happening in other states. It's time for Nader to denounce Republican help and refuse to accept any petitions gathered improperly.»
