Independent presidential candidate Ralph
Nader has gathered enough certified signatures to earn a spot on
the November ballot in Arkansas.
In Arkansas third-party presidential candidates need one
thousand signatures of registered Arkansas voters to be on the
general election ballot. Nader supporters turned in one thousand,
234 signatures.
Arkansas requires presidential candidates to have a party
affiliation, so Nader`s supporters in the state called their party
"The Better Life."
Nader earned one percent of the Arkansas vote in 2000. That year
51 percent went to Bush, 46 percent to Al Gore and 1 percent to Pat
Buchanan.
The Arkansas secretary of state`s office also certified ballot
slots for the Green Party and Constitutional Party on Thursday.
