Well that didn't take long:
Democrats file challenge to Nader's candidacy in Michigan
They're trying a wide array of tactics here, the most interesting of which is claiming that the petitions submitted by Republicans are invalid because Michigan law requires the candidate's own campaign to collect signatures. Also, they're going to claim that some 20,000 are ineligible or fraudulent. The first complaint is probably their best hope. Kicking Nader off the Michigan ballot would give him a serious black eye and probably help Kerry somewhat.
