Constitution party could win in Alabama/Mississippi/Oklahoma if republicans nominate Huntsman and he picks a democrat as his running mate in 2016 Tongue.
Oklahoma has the worst ballot access laws in the country for third parties. I think McCain and Obama were the only ones on the ballot there in 2008.

Meaning what?  Overwhelmingly Republican?  We can only hope so.  Johnson could be on the Oklahoma ballot, and Romney would still get 65% of the vote.  3rd parties are an epic waste of time in that state.

I think this year the only difference is Gary Johnson is as well.  Here in New York, there's like 7 or so, I believe.  Even the Party for Socialism and Liberation got on the ballot here, and their candidate is in her 20s.

I think the Oklahoma authorities booted Johnson off the AE line in Oklahoma.

I'm just wondering how long it'll be before the vast majority of states become like Oklahoma.  Because honestly, I see it going in that direction.

I recently found out Vermin Supreme is starting the "Free Pony Party," so I'll hedge my bet there. :-D

Meaning virtually impossible for anyone other than the two mainstream candidates to get on the ballot.
