Widespread Forgery Alleged on Nader Petitions in Oregon

Evidence of overwhelming and systemic fraud in the Ralph Nader for President petitions was released today by the Service Employees International Union. An analysis of the petition sheets and a direct survey of people whose names appear on the petition suggests at least two-thirds of all signatures turned in by the Nader campaign to date are fraudulent. Alice Dale, Vice-President of Service Employees International Union (SEIU) was joined by Ellen Lowe, the chief petitioner of the Initiative Integrity Act, as she released preliminary findings of an investigation into the quality of the first round of signature sheets turned into Multnomah and Washington Counties of the Ralph Nader for President petition.
