Mr. Nader, Some Good Advice

Interestingly, this didn't make the Cleveland PD's website this morning. Makes you wonder what else they're not telling us, doesn't it?

Namely, Sargus ruled that ``the magnitude of the fraud (committed by the circulators is) far too great for this court to consider granting... in the plaintiffs' favor.''

Saying Ralph Nader’s campaign had "unclean hands," a federal judge yesterday denied the consumer advocate’s plea to get on Ohio’s presidential ballot.
Toledo Blade:
"In view of the [1999 decision], it appears clear that the requirement of Ohio law that circulators be registered is unconstitutional," Judge Sargus wrote.
But Judge Sargus said it was unnecessary for him to delve into the constitutional issue because even if he accepted Mr. Nader's argument, Ohio would not place Mr. Nader's name back on the ballot because "signatures would be excluded on the grounds of several forms of fraud on the part of circulators."
