BOSTON, July 29 (UPI) -- Former New York Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman has joined a team of lawyers to bump Ralph Nader off of state ballots.

Earlier this week, Democratic pollster and infleuntial strategist Stanley Greenberg told a Democratic briefing that the so-called "Nader Factor" could tilt Nevada and West Virginia into the GOP column
