Ralph Nader's Oregon campaign accused Democrats on Thursday of engaging
in "sabotage" to keep the consumer activist off Oregon's presidential
ballot.
A June 26 convention in Portland fell 50 signatures short of the 1,000
signatures needed to qualify Nader for the ballot, said his spokesman
Greg Kafoury.
Kafoury said that happened because dozens of Democrats who oppose
Nader's candidacy showed up for the convention but then refused to sign
petitions to place Nader's name on the November ballot.
It was Nader's second failed attempt to gain ballot access.
Nader's supporters aren't giving up, though.
They now are mounting a statewide petition drive to gather 15,000
signatures to place the consumer activist on the Oregon ballot this fall.
