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
