Democrats are showing grave concern for voters being disenfranchised this go 'round. That is, unless you intend to vote for Ralph Nader.

Ralph Nader's efforts to get his name on ballots in important swing states as an independent candidate for president are becoming mired in legal challenges and charges of fraud by Democrats who have mounted an extensive campaign to keep him from becoming a factor in this year's election. [...]

But he is entangled in an assortment of lawsuits, including ones in states that may be the most contested in November. He is in court in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Arizona, and faces potential suits in Oregon, Iowa, New Hampshire, West Virginia and Nevada.

He is also in court in states like Texas (for Bush) and Illinois (for Kerry) that are not expected to be battlegrounds. But the legal challenges there are diverting his time and resources.

This is coming from the party that forced 122 year old Frank Lautenberg onto the ballot for NJ Senator, even though the deadline was so close that absentee ballots had already been mailed. In forcing the ballot switch just days before the election, Democrats like Senate Minority Leader Tom Dashle claimed that violating election law was necessary, in order to give voters a choice.

When it comes to Nader, Democrats are no longer pro-choice.
