On Septermber 20th, a judge ruled that Ralph Nader's 2009 lawsuit against the Democratic party must go to trial. Nader was the 2008 Green Party candidate, and he alleges that "Democrats orchestrated a concerted, nationwide effort to interfere with the campaign of Nader and his running mate, the late Peter Miguel Camejo, by filing 29 complaints in 19 states, including Maine, and that many of the complaints included groundless and demonstrably false allegations of fraud."
