Maryland high court forces Nader's name onto ballot
Russell Adkins at 2:34 PM ET

Maryland's Court of Appeals held Monday afternoon that the state must accept 542 initially rejected signatures gathered by supporters of presidential candidate Ralph Nader to create a new Populist Party. The ruling overrules a state judge's decision and would put Nader's name on the Md. ballot for the Nov. 2 election.

The ruling boosts the signature tally beyond the 10,000 threshold needed to get on the ballot under a new party label. AP has more. Read the court order here [PDF].
