I was booked for a Portland, Oregon radio interview last night, and while they tried to stick to my topic (Dan Rather), they were really upset about this: Bill Bradbury, the Oregon Secretary of State, ruled that 3,000 of the 18,000 Nader campaign signatures were invalid, so Nader can’t be on the ballot in November. The Oregonians started comparing Bradbury to Katherine Harris. If Harris couldn’t support Bush and be a plausible elections officer, how about this Kerry supporter? And whatever happened to count every vote (or signature?) For more fun with switched sides, see this story from a few weeks ago, where the liberal unions cheer Bradbury’s efforts to prevent voter fraud. Somehow I don’t see Dan Rather kvetching that the decision came down as Bradbury “sees it and decrees it.”
