Third-Party and Independent Ballot Status
jsrjsr writes "Ballot Access News reports on the number of states where various candidates will be on the ballot. The site also contains a wealth of news about ballot access and other election-related issues."
The Democrats have been harrasing Ralph Nader pretty bad. What they've done is they've formed a separate group called the United Progressives for Victory, and they are suing him everywhere that they can. They sue him in battleground states in order to keep him off the ballot, and they'll sue him in non-battleground states simply to harass him and deplete his resources. By forming a separate group, the United Progressives for Victory can be counter-attacked and sued out of exisxtence without putting the Democratic Party, itself, on the line.
This site is updated daily to give the predicted electoral vote counts - more informative than the overall popular vote totals. He also covers the Senate races and issues related to polling ingeneral. The site does have a somewhat pro-Kerry viewpoint, but it seems like the poll data is non-partisan ...
It doesn't work, which people have commented on in previous threads.
Go Whigs!
Don't throw away your vote by voting Republican!
Note to moderators -- the above comment is not a troll but a way of wryly pointing out that in the past, the system *has* in fact changed, and the entrenched parties of the time would likely have used the same "don't throw your vote away" argument against the rising power that we hear from the entrenched parties of today.
Now as for what this mismoderation says about the Republicans who were offended by the comment, I'll leave that to the real trolls...
Kill, Tux, kill!
