Ralph Nader ran in the 2000 United States presidential election as the nominee of the Green Party. He was also nominated by the Vermont Progressive Party〔(2000-08-01) ("Vermont Progressives Nominate Nader" ), Ballot Access News.〕 and the United Citizens Party of South Carolina.〔(2000-08-01) (United Citizens Party Picks Nader ), Ballot Access News.〕 The campaign marked Nader's second presidential bid as the Green nominee, and his third overall, having run as a write-in campaign in 1992 and a passive campaign on the Green ballot line in 1996. Nader's vice presidential running mate was Winona LaDuke, an environmental activist and member of the Ojibwe tribe of Minnesota. Nader appeared on the ballot in 43 states and DC, up from 22 in 1996. He won 2,882,995 votes, or 2.74 percent of the popular vote. His campaign did not attain the 5 percent required to qualify the Green Party for federally distributed public funding in the next election. The percentage did, however, enable the Green Party to achieve ballot status in many new states, such as Delaware and Maryland.〔Levine, Harry G. (May 2004).〕 Some people claim that Nader acted as a third-party spoiler in the 2000 U.S. presidential election, while others, including Nader, dispute this claim.〔(Convictions Intact, Nader Soldiers On – New York Times )〕 ==Nomination Process== On July 9, the Vermont Progressive Party nominated Nader, giving him ballot access in the state.〔Ballot Access News (Aug. 1, 2000). (VERMONT PROGRESSIVES NOMINATE NADER )〕 On August 12, the United Citizens Party of South Carolina chose Ralph Nader as its presidential nominee, giving him a ballot line in the state. The Association of State Green Parties (ASGP) organized the national nominating convention that took place in Denver, Colorado, in June 2000, at which Greens nominated Ralph Nader and Winona LaDuke to be their parties` candidates for President and Vice President and Nader presented his acceptance speech.〔http://www.ratical.org/co-globalize/RalphNader/062500.html〕〔Common Dreams Progressive Newswire (July 11, 2001).(Green Meeting Will Establish Greens as a National Party ).
