Is there a reason Thurmond failed to make the ballot?  Did he not try, or was the leadership there particularly pro-Truman?

Obama High's debate team:

It's extremely difficult for third party candidates to get onto the ballot in Oklahoma; a relic of the crushing of the SPA there during the First World War.

What's more, Oklahoma is a hardcore Republican state.

Certainly wasn't then; Truman won 62.7-37.2.

I'm kinda late to this, but that's probably not the reason. Note how Teddy Roosevelt didn't make the ballot either. And that was before WWI.
