The last time the Libertarian Party’s presidential nominee achieved nation-wide ballot access was for the 1996 campaign of Harry Browne. The party was on the ballot in all 50 states plus DC again in 2000, but the Arizona Libertarian Party nominated a different candidate than the national party. In 2012, the party’s presidential ticket was on the ballot in 48 states.
In other ballot access news, the chair of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party in Minnesota (that state’s Democratic Party), has filed a lawsuit challenging the ballot access of Donald Trump and Mike Pence. The Minnesota GOP had forgotten to elect alternate presidential electors at their convention; the state party committee appointed alternate electors shortly before the deadline. DFL’s lawsuit is challenging the legality of that move, and is asking the state supreme court to remove Trump and Pence from the ballot.

On more ballots than Hillary Trumpence.
Hillary and Donnell are essentially dead, but the MSM press refuses to report it. It's time for the coroner to haul off the dead meat.

I wish it were not so dire because it would be nice to see someone other than an R or D run the white hut!

I can't understand wy the MSM press refuses to report such an obvious fact. /sarc
Third parties are essentially dead and fail to qualify for the debates. They exist but few are aware or pay any attention. How many electoral votes have they won since George Wallace?

Good. I hope he gets some electoral votes. That should change the game a bit. Has not happened with a third party AFAICR since Wallace.
