On December 4, the Harvard Law Record carried this short article by Theresa Amato about the need for ballot access reform. The article notes that the very same publication, the Harvard Law Record, carried a somewhat similar article by Ralph Nader in 1958. She does not include 1996 because, even though Nader was the presidential candidate of the Green Party in 1996, he did not raise or spend as much as $5,000, so under the Federal Election Commission’s definition of “candidate”, for FEC purposes he was not a candidate in 1996.
