Attached is an article from the NY Times regarding how a Republican
party operative in the State of Washington supported a Green Party
candidate, apparently hoping the candidacy would draw votes away from a
Democratic candidate. The incident reminded me of a case I worked on as
a clerk for a judge on the Ninth Circuit. A private individual named
Michael Goland was a strong supporter of California Senator Alan
Cranston because of Cranston's pro-Israel policies. Goland was
concerned that Cranston's Republican opponent, Ed Zschau, might win the
close race. Goland then financially supported Ed Vallen, a fringe
right-wing candidate, going so far as to write and produce commercials
for him, in the hopes that Vallen would draw votes away from Zschau.
Goland was convicted (and sent to jail--something rare for violation of
federal campaign finance laws) of making excessive contributions to
Vallen (who, if I recall correctly, got more votes than the margin of
difference between Cranston and Zschau in the race). Goland's argument,
rejected on appeal, was that he was not making a contribution in favor
of Vallen, but rather an independent expenditure in favor of Cranston.
The case is U.S. v. Goland, 959 F.2d 1449 (9th Cir. 1992). For a
dissent from rehearing en banc, see 977 F.2d 1359.
The Washington state case is different first and foremost in that it
apparently involves no illegal conduct. But it is also different in
that a party operative, rather than a private individual, is the one
supporting the third party candidate as a spoiler.

Han, who graduated from Mountlake Terrace High School in suburban Seattle=
two months ago and was a volunteer for Ralph Nader last fall, describes =
himself this way: "I'm just an idealistic guy out there that wants to mak=
e some changes." </p>
<P> So early last month, just as he was flirting with the idea of running=
as a Green Party candidate for the Legislature, the 18-year-old Mr. Han =
was flattered to get an e-mail note from a man named Stan Shore encouragi=
ng him to go for it. </p>
<P> Mr. Shore showed up several days later to help organize a "legislativ=
e district convention" at which Mr. Han's name was put in nomination. Mr.=
Shore paid for the hotel room where it was held. He brought doughnuts fo=
r the two dozen delegates. </p>
<P> And several days after that, Mr. Shore returned to take Mr. Han out t=
o lunch at Red Robin, a local hamburger chain, and persuade him to take t=
he final step of filing his declaration papers with the state. Mr. Shore =
wrote out a campaign donation for $250.</p>
<P> "He seemed really decent," the teenager recalled. "He said he was thi=
s guy who wanted to help take down the establishment." </p>
<P> But whatever passion Mr. Shore may have exhibited for the Green Party=
, he is in fact a longtime campaign consultant for Washington Republicans=
=2E And here, in a part of the country where the Green Party has the prov=
en ability to siphon votes from Democrats in close races, Mr. Shore, who =
never identified himself as a Republican consultant to Mr. Han, now says =
that is exactly what he hopes will happen. </p>

l by Democrats. </p>
<P> In Mr. Han's case, the seat he seeks in the Seattle suburbs in a spec=
ial election next month is hugely important to both major parties: with t=
he state House split, 49 to 49, control of the chamber is at stake. There=
are two Democrats vying in a Sept. 18 primary to face Joe Marine, a Repu=
blican. If Mr. Marine, who was appointed to the seat last year after the =
incumbent stepped down, loses, the Democrats will be in the majority.</p>=
<P> The Greens and the Democrats have accused the Republicans of hypocris=
y for aiding Mr. Han and another Green candidate in the Seattle county ra=
ce, Michael Jepson, 21, who had no prior involvement with the party. </p>=
<P> The Republican state chairman, Chris Vance, disavowed any advance kno=
wledge of Mr. Shore's tactics, but said today that he had no reason to co=
ndemn them. </p>
<P> "I feel like that character in `Casablanca' who says he's shocked to =
discover gambling going on," Mr. Vance said in a telephone interview. "Wh=
at a surprise! Politics is involved in politics. Getting the right mixtur=
e of candidates on the ballot is a tactic that goes back to the first par=
liamentary elections in England. It is a standard tactic." </p>
<P> That assertion drew outrage from Democrats.</p>
<P> "Business as usual? I'm frankly shocked by how matter-of-fact they ar=
e about it," said Jim Kainber, the executive director of the Washington D=
emocratic Party. "It's not appropriate. It's not ethical." </p>
<P> To which Mr. Vance replied: "Oh, please! They're not shocked by it at=
all. I believe the Democrats have on occasion gone out and made sure Lib=
ertarians were on the ballot in the belief that that would harm Republica=
n candidates." </p>
<P> However common the recruiting tactic, and whatever its propriety, the=
incident has embittered Mr. Han, though it has not driven him out of the=
race or led him to heed entreaties that he endorse a Democrat.</p>
<P> He has delayed his plans to enter Whittier College in the fall, plann=
ing instead to wage a vigorous campaign and clinging to what he admits is=
probably the quixotic hope that he can parlay the controversy into victo=
ry this fall.</p>
<P> Whatever happens, he said he has learned a hard lesson. </p>
<P> "Look, I know politics is very messy," Mr. Han said in an interview t=
oday. "But to use people as pawns in this absurd political game, I think =
it's appalling that that goes on. It's an affront to democracy. It's been=
an emotional bombshell for me." </p>
<P> Mr. Han favors an instant runoff voting system that would eliminate t=
he sort of anxiety that many supporters of Ralph Nader, the Green preside=
ntial candidate last year, felt when they wondered whether their votes co=
uld tip the election to George W. Bush. Under that runoff system, used in=
some European countries, voters select their candidates in order of pref=
erence. </p>
<P> But there is at least one thing Mr. Han feels better about: he return=
ed the $250 to Mr. Shore, whose company is based in Olympia, the state ca=
pital. Taking the contribution, which amounted to half Mr. Han's total fu=
nd-raising, never felt quite right to begin with, he said. He added that =
he favored public financing of all campaigns. </p>
<P> "I have deep values; I'd never sell out for anything," Mr. Han said. =
"But still, I didn't feel comfortable taking that much money. I mean, if =
someone gives you that much and then they call you up, you've got to list=
en to them. I'm just a human being. Of course you'd have a tendency to wa=
nt to reciprocate toward them." </p>
