Drake U. Professor Challenges Iowa Nader Petition
Des Moines Register
A Drake
University journalism professor Friday filed a challenge to the
petition that put Ralph Nader on the [Iowa] ballot for president,
saying the petition does not meet the requirements of state law.
Lee
Baldwin Jolliffe , 50, a registered Des Moines Democrat, is asking
state election officials to declare Nader's petition invalid based on
her assertion that fewer than 1,500 of the 3,198 signatures on the
petition are from eligible electors.
She also
said the petition has other discrepancies, such as some people not
signing their name, not stating a correct address or not living where
they say they do. In addition, she said some of the people simply do
not exist.
“The nomination petition, therefore, does not meet the requirement of Iowa Code,” Jolliffe said.
