Nader having Texas ballot troubles

Ralph Nader is complaining that it's too hard to get on the ballot in Texas.

It would take 44,000 signatures to get on the ballot as a Green party candidate. It would take 74,000 to do it as an independent candidate. In 2000, he got 137,994 votes here. He could get on as a write in for (I think) $3,125 or 5,000 signatures.
