Disenfranchisement
So, the party of Selected not elected and Extreme Court has again engaged in dirty political trickery:
In Arizona, supporters of Nader abandoned their effort to get the independent candidate on the presidential ballot after Democrats challenged the validity of thousands of signatures.
Nader’s campaign had submitted more than 22,000 signatures to Arizona election officials June 9 — far more than the 14,694 valid signatures required by state law to compete against President Bush and Kerry.
Two Democratic voters had filed a lawsuit last week, backed by the Arizona Democratic Party, questioning the validity of Nader’s nominating petitions and other documents. The Democrats argued that more than 70 percent of the signatures were invalid.
I love the smell of partisanship in the morning.

You know Ralphy’s over the hill when his supporters roll over that easily. In the bad old days, this would have prompted an outcry among antidisenfranchisementarianists.

Uncle, you miss an essential point: Democrats are just trying to protect the real intent of voters in Arizona, which is to vote for John Kerry, so this isn’t partisanship, it’s citizenship.
