Steven Machat is on the ballot as an independent candidate for U.S. Senate from Florida. The first U.S. Senate debate in that race includes only the Republican and Democratic nominees, and is set for October 14. Machat earlier sued the debate sponsors over their 15% polling standard, but a federal court rejected his lawsuit on procedural grounds. He has refiled the case in state court. See this story. There have been no polls in Florida that include Machat.
