Election Commission Dismisses Complaints - A Check This Out Extra

The Federal Election Commission dismissed three complaints Thursday involving Ralph Nader, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and the Democratic National Committee.

One alleging the interest group Citizen Works made illegal corporate contributions to Nader's presidential campaign by letting it use the group's office space for half the fair-market price.

One accusing Democratic presidential hopeful Kerry and the Democratic National Committee of illegally using their government election money to keep Nader off the ballot.

One that said the Swift Boat Veterans group was incorporated and that therefore its spending on election-time ads in the presidential race was illegal.
