WASHINGTON (CN) - Ralph Nader claims the Federal Election Commission wrongfully dismissed his claim against the Democratic Party and John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign without conducting "any investigation whatsoever."
Nader's original complaint accused the Democratic Party of organizing a nationwide criminal effort to keep him off the ballot in the 2004 presidential election.
Nader says the FEC's dismissal of his claim was arbitrary and violated the Federal Election Campaign Act.

By comparing the 2004 election figures to the 2000 election figures, you can tell that a lot of people who had supported Ralph Nader in 2000 came to the same conclusion.
