According to AP, the Supreme Court refused to intervene in a lower court decision that disallowed Bob Barr to be on the Louisiana ballot.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court refused Tuesday to intervene in a dispute between Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr and Louisiana over Barr’s bid to get on the state’s ballot.

The justices denied Barr’s request for help in a one-sentence order.

The Libertarians blamed Hurricane Gustav for making them miss the deadline to be included on Louisiana ballot.

Barr is on the ballot in 43 states, though court challenges could change that.

According to Ballot Access News, Barr is on the ballot in 45 states. I’m not sure where the AP is obtaining their numbers. This is yet another time and money consuming distraction from the real issues that the well funded two party duopoly never has to worry about.

Will there be a third party uprising before 2012? I could certainly get behind that.
