Candidate Ralph Nader visits state, works to appear on Alaska ballot
Nader is working to get his name and that of running mate Peter Camejo placed on the Nov. 2 ballot here. Nader supporters in Alaska need to collect 2,878 valid signatures by Aug. 4 to get official recognition for what's called a "limited" party, which can then nominate Nader for president, giving him access to the ballot, according to the state Division of Elections.
In the 2000 presidential race, Nader and running mate Winona Laduke ran third among Alaska voters, pulling in 10.07 percent of the vote, according to the state Division of Elections Web site. Nationally, they won 2.74 percent of the vote.
