In his fourth run for president of the United States, independent candidate Ralph Nader's presidential campaign submitted a petition containing over 12,000 signatures in order to appear on the presidential ballot in Nevada.

Nader spokesman Chris Driscoll confirmed that over 12,000 signatures were submitted to the Nevada Secretary of State at 10:00 a.m, eclipsing the 5,746 signatures required to appear on the ballot. The news was first reported by Anjeanette Damon of the Reno-Gazette Journal.

The Nader camp hopes to appear on the presidential ballots of 45 states for the 2008 election, compared to the 34 states he was available in during the 2004 election, according to a press release from the campaign.

"They are both working on the independent voters who will make all the difference in that race, and there aren't going to be many independents in Denver and St. Paul."

-- Mark Peplowski, a political science professor at the College of Southern Nevada, on state Sen. Dina Titus (D-Las Vegas) and incumbent Rep. Jon Porter (R-Boulder City), who will continue campaigning in the 3rd District during their respective national party conventions.
