Nader doesn't get spot on California ballot
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Consumer advocate Ralph Nader has not collected enough signatures to make the ballot in California as an independent presidential candidate but his spokesman has said the campaign will keep trying.

Nader had gathered about 85,000 signatures by Friday's deadline and had clearly failed to accumulate the 153,035 signatures needed to place him on the ballot, California Secretary of State spokesman Doug Stone said on Sunday. Final tallies were not immediately available.

Nader campaign spokesman Kevin Zeese said the campaign would keep trying to get Nader's name before the state's voters. "We have four or five other options to get his name on the ballot, none of which I can disclose... We expect to be on the ballot in November," Zeese said.

Zeese said Nader's campaign was trying to convince Green Party members in California to replace their presidential nominee with Nader, who was their candidate in 2000. A spokesman for the Green Party was not immediately available.
