CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Independent Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader appears to have enough signatures to gain access to West Virginia's ballot this November.

Supporters have been gathering signatures for weeks. They will submit the petitions to the West Virginia Secretary of State Friday.

State law requires 15,118 signatures to gain access. Nader's supporters announced Thursday night they will hand in more than 24,000 names.

Libertarian Party Candidate Bob Barr is also attempting to gain access to West Virginia's ballot. The deadline is August 1st.

The superdelgaets didn't override anyone's votes. W.Va.'s PLEDGED delegates went to Gore. Superdelegates vot in addition to those and can go with whomever they want. In this case they went with the winner of the national vote total, Barack Obama.

Nader screwed it up for the Democrats before... Looks like he'll do it again!

The write-in canidate is a great option, however, it doesn't matter whom John Q Public votes for President; it's the SUPERDELEGATES decision to override our votes and elect whomever they decide to support.
