Those who watched the October 19 presidential debate saw that Donald Trump said about Hillary Clinton, “She should not be allowed to run.” Here is one of the many news sources that show him saying that.

Under the United States Constitution, as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court in U.S. Term Limits v Thornton, anyone who is age 35, a natural born citizen, and a resident of the U.S. for at least 14 years, is permitted to run for President. Eugene Debs ran for president in 1920 while he was in a federal penitentiary for “espionage” (actually for opposing U.S. involvement in World War I). Vincent Hallinan, 1952 Progressive Party nominee, also ran for President while he was in prison.

Voters in California receive government-printed pamphlets in the postal mail, giving arguments for and against state and local ballot measures. This article in the California Policy Center newsetter shows how the San Francisco Libertarian Party submitted an argument against a city bond measure. The San Francisco Voters Handbook did not carry the Libertarian Party ballot argument, and instead claimed that no argument against the measure, Proposition B, had been submitted.

On October 19, Emerson College Polls put out new presidential polls in four states, including Utah. See the results here. For Utah, the results are: Evan McMullin 31%; Donald Trump 27%; Hillary Clinton 24%; Gary Johnson 5%; other 1%; undecided 12%.

The expected large Utah vote for McMullin will not create an ongoing new party in Utah, because McMullin qualified as an independent candidate. If McMullin had qualified as the nominee of the Better for America Party, then that party would have surely polled over 2%, and been a qualified party in Utah for 2018 and 2020.
