    The public employees union, meanwhile, said it tried to contact 269  
people whose names were on Nader's petitions.

    The union said that based on those contacts, it found that 27 percent  
of the addresses do not exist, 22 percent of the names belonged to people  
who are dead or do not live at the address, and 17 percent reported they  
did not sign the petition.
