On August 1, Rocky De La Fuente voluntarily dismissed his lawsuit against the Florida law on how an independent presidential candidate gets on the ballot. He no longer needs the lawsuit, because he is the Reform Party nominee and the Reform Party is on the ballot in Florida.

Which states is de la Fuente on now? Has he caught up with the Constitution Party ticket yet?
John, this map I made should help you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2016#/media/File:Rocky_De_La_Fuente_2016_general_election_ballot_access.svg
OK, so one useful thing his campaign might otherwise have accomplished, down the drain.
Is any of his other worthwhile litigation against bad ballot access laws going anywhere?
Thank you, Leonardo. A quick check says that makes 12 states with a total of 123 electoral votes available. Not quite yet caught up with the Constitution Party, even if Castle-Bradley doesn’t get on in Idaho because of the state party’s dissent there — but getting close.
Castle will be on in Idaho. The state changed its opposition.
I have hopes that Rocky’s litigation will accomplish good things in at least some of the states he has sued so far: California, Connecticut, Georgia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania.
