TOTAL STATES ON (including DC)			49	28	35	36	14	--

*"Already on" means that state elections officials have placed a candidate on the ballot. However, in the case of Ralph Nader, certain individuals have sued state elections officials, alleging that those state elections officials should not have listed Nader. Therefore, even though Nader is on the ballot in these states, it is possible that court action could remove him. These states have been marked with an asterisk.

**These states list a stand-in, James Harris, as the Socialist Workers Party candidate, in order to comply with state laws. The SWP candidate, Roger Calero, is not a US citizen.

***"Potential" means the number of states the candidate would be on, if everything now in doubt is settled advantageously to that candidate.

****Appealed to the US Supreme Court.

The parties below are on the ballot for President in at least two states:

Socialist Party (Walt Brown) is on in Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey, South Carolina, and Wisconsin.
Socialist Equality Party (Bill Van Auken) is on in Colorado, Iowa, New Jersey, Minnesota, and Washington.
Prohibition Party (Gene Amondsen) is on in Colorado and Louisiana.
Workers World Party (John Parker) is on in Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.
