With all of the controversy over Ralph Nader and his difficulties getting put on the ballot in various states, including my home state of Virginia, and the pivotal state of Florida, I figured I'd post a link to the Ballot Access website, which contains information on which third-party candidates are on the slate in which states.

On a related note EveryVoteMatters.com lists the name and web site of a large number of presidential candidates and helps to explain how I had so much trouble figuring out which socialist candidate the folks at Ballot Access were talking about.

Virginians will be voting for the Democrats, Republicans, Libertarian Party, or Constitution Party.

People in Wisconsin will be voting for the Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Constitution Party, Green Party, Reform Party, and the Socialist Workers Party.

Kentuckians will be able to vote for Democrats, Republicans, Reform Party candidates, and Libetarians.

And our friends in Illinois will have the choice of the Democrats, Republicans, and Libertarians.
