Montana 'Tricksters for Tester'
Today, Infowars reported that Montana Democrats have filed suit, challenging ballot access-petition signatures presented by the state's Green Party. The signatures were presented by the Greens to ensure their ballot placement against Senator Jon Tester, who is seeking re-election.

In 2004, I was Iowa coordinator for Ralph Nader's independent presidential campaign. In the 12th hour, Democrats here also mounted a tactical, frivolous lawsuit challenging Nader's ballot access-petitions' signatures.
They were ultimately unsuccessful.
After that election, it came out that numerous such state efforts were coordinated at the Democrats' national level. The calculated ambition was to 'kneecap' the Nader campaign by draining it of time and resources, making the path easier for Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry.
A Chicago Tribune piece of years ago noted that when he was running for that state's senate, Barack Obama's supporters scoured the ballot access-petitions of third party and independent competitors seeking excuses to disqualify them from the race.
As Infowars founder Jim Hoft noted sarcastically: "Democracy is only valid when Democrats win."
