On August 23, the Missouri Secretary of State said the Green Party petition has enough valid signatures. This will be the first time the Green Party has been on the Missouri ballot in a presidential year since 2000.

Progress! At this rate Jill could be on as many ballots as Ralph Nader was in 2000.
Nader was 43 and DC. Dr. Stein could go past that.
Jill’s website is also showing she’s on in Kansas. Any independent confirmation of that?
Also, it looks almost certain that Johnson will make the Minnesota ballot. Here’s a story posted on the LP of Minnesota website this morning.
https://www.lpmn.org/gary-johnson-to-appear-on-minnesota-ballot-2016/
Summary: 2200 signatures submitted on 8/2, of which 1950 were valid (according to this post). Another 1,000 signatures submitted on Monday. It’s almost certain that at least 50 of these were valid (a total of 2000 are required).
As to Kansas — it looks like she’s on as an “independent”, with Howie Hawkins as a stand-in VP.

The Stein/Baraka access map page:

seems to have flipped Indiana from write-in (orange) to filed and awaiting results (lighter green). Presuming for the moment that this is incorrect, and that they will get write-in status in Georgia, I make it:
* Not on the ballot and no write-in in one state with 3 EC votes (South Dakota).
* Write-in only in three states with 42 EC votes (Georgia, Indiana, and North Carolina).
* In court in two states with 13 EC votes (Nevada and Oklahoma).
* Still petitioning in six states with 35 EC votes (Idaho, Kentucky, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Virginia, and Wyoming).
* Petitions filed and pending in four states with 23 EC votes (Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, and New Hampshire).
* And on the ballot in the other 35 states (including DC) with their 422 EC votes.
If the court challenges fail (and they’re in two of the no-write-in states), but the petitions all succeed, that would give Stein/Baraka 45 ballot lines for a possible 480 EC votes, write-in status in three more states with 42 EC votes, and no presence at all in three states with 16 EC votes. If the court challenges both win, that changes to 47/493 on ballot, 3/42 write-in, and 1/3 no presence.
Yes, Tom, the MN SoS’s site lists Johnson-Weld as on the ballot

John, petitioning is finished in Virginia.
Thanks for the further news, Bradley. I guess the Stein map Webpage needs another update. (It does say the deadline in Virginia is the 26th — if so, then they finished early.)
Did the LP turn in all of their petitions today, or are they going to wait until Friday for the last ones? Last I read, they turned in about 5500, but I read an article that they had collected about 7600 as of last week.
Oh, John, you might be right on the extra days (deadline). I think the LP had enough and was finished and I wasn’t clear.
I found it, 2020!
