Hmmm, I could've sworn I saw his name on the early voting ballot here in 
Utah, but looking at the county clerk's office website, it seems I was 
mistaken.

Looks like he's on a couple of ballots, though - Montana's Constitution 
Party replaced Chuck Baldwin with Ron Paul; apparently he changed his 
mind on Sept 11 (he didn't object as long as he didn't have to declare 
initially), and it sounds like from what I was able to find that the 
ballot will go out with his name on it.  It sounds like he's also on the 
Louisiana ballot as the "Louisiana Taxpayers Party".  That also 
apparently is without his consent, though.

He's not on in enough states to actually win, though.

Jim
