Ralph Nader supporters have submitted
signatures for the presidential candidate to appear on the Arkansas
ballot November Second.
The Secretary of State`s Office told supporters that a
presidential candidate can`t appear on the ballot in Arkansas as an
independent and they would have to list Nader as some party`s
candidate.
Supporters had him listed as The Better Life party`s candidate.
About one-thousand signatures were turned in.
The Secretary of State`s Office will verify if the signatures
are from registered Arkansas voters. Nader will need one-thousand
voter signatures to get on the ballot.
In the narrow 2000 race, Nader, then the Green Party
presidential candidate, was blamed for taking votes away from
Democrat Al Gore and contributing to Gore`s defeat.
