COURT FINDS FRAUD IN NADER'S 2004 PENNSYLVANIA PETITIONING
AP - Former presidential candidate Ralph Nader and his running mate must pay more than $80,000 in expenses for the
lawsuit that challenged their nominating papers and kept them off the 2004 ballot, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court
ruled in a decision released Wednesday. There was an implication of "fraud and deception" in their petition drive, the
court said in its ruling.
A group of Pennsylvania voters sued to block Nader and Peter Miguel Camejo, who were running as independent
candidates, from being placed on the ballot. As a result of the lawsuit, the state Commonwealth Court found
wide-ranging improprieties among Nader and Camejo's petition signatures and disqualified nearly two-thirds of the
51,000 signatures they submitted.
The Commonwealth Court opinion described the Nader-Camejo petitions as "the most deceitful and fraudulent exercise
ever perpetrated upon this court." Signatures were filed for "Mickey Mouse" and "Fred Flintstone," and thousands of
names were created at random, the lower court found.
Five state Supreme Court justices said Nader and Camejo must pay the plaintiffs' transcription and stenography costs
and handwriting expert fees.
"Given the magnitude of the fraud and deception implicated in (their) signature-gathering efforts, their claim that the
Commonwealth Court acted in an unjust and unconstitutional fashion by assessing transcription and stenography costs
does not pass the straight-face test," Justice Sandra Schultz Newman wrote for the majority.
