A longtime Portland community activist plans to
file a complaint accusing an anti-tax group and the President Bush and
Ralph Nader campaigns of violating federal election law in an effort to
put Nader on the Oregon ballot. "The process Nader has started to get
on Oregon's ballot is out of control," said Ellen Lowe, who announced
at a Portland news conference Tuesday that she would file a complaint
Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission. Lowe's
complaint claims the Bush and Nader campaigns and Citizens for a Sound
Economy broke federal election laws by coordinating an effort to get
Republicans to attend the meeting to help ensure Nader a spot on the
ballot, presumably to draw votes from presumptive Democratic nominee
John Kerry and help Bush. [more]
