Ballot Access News reports:

Ralph Nader’s success in getting on the Idaho ballot is noteworthy, because this had been one state in which he had never before been on the ballot. There are now only 4 states in which Nader has never been on the ballot: Georgia, North Carolina, Indiana, and Oklahoma.

In the past, and also this year, he will receive write-ins in Georgia, Indiana and North Carolina. Also he got write-ins in Idaho in the past. But Oklahoma prohibits write-in votes, so Oklahoma continues to be the only state in which Nader has never received any votes at all.

The lawsuit filed against Oklahoma this year by Bob Barr, to overturn the ballot access requirements, was filed on July 17. There is still no hearing date. Barr’s attorney, Jim Linger, will make a supreme effort in the next few days to get a hearing date established.

According to BAN’s chart, the Nader campaign is currently on the ballot in 33 states, finished in an additional 9 states plus DC, and still collecting signatures in Kentucky, Vermont and Minnesota.

Barr is on the ballot in 41 states, finished in 4 more, and signatures are still being gathered in Minnesota; Barr petitions failed in Maine and DC, and the campaign is suing Oklahoma and West Virginia for access and Massachusetts for substitution. Additionally, the Barr campaign is suing NH for substitution for the already successful Phillies ballot line; as of this writing, there is still no official result for the separate Barr petition in NH.

There is an outside chance that Nader will be on as many, or even more, ballot lines than Barr – although Nader is missing some large states, including Texas. Nader may be on more state ballots than any leftist alternative Presidential candidate since 1948, if none of his pending state petitions fail. Barr is highly likely be on the fewest ballot lines for a national LP ticket since at least 1988, and possibly since 1984.

The Constitution and Green parties are lagging somewhat behind, with eight more parties on in two or more states according to Ballot Access News.
