Chart showing who is on ballot by state

Now I'm confused, Dave. Your chart shows the Constitution Party on the Iowa Ballot, but the DesMoines Register reported only these candidates:

PRESIDENT: (In addition to Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama) Bob Barr, Wayne A. Root for the Libertarian Party; James Harris, Alyson Kennedy for the Socialist Workers Party; Gloria La Riva, Robert Moses for the Socialism and Liberation Party; Cynthia McKinney, Wendy Barth for the Green Party; Ralph Nader, Matt Gonzalez for the Peace and Freedom Party.

Is Baldwin on the ballot or not?

I just emailed Richard who runs the site. He is the authority on these questions but does make mistakes (or is sometimes given wrong information or information that was right but then changes, etc.). I corrected him on the Socialists being on the ballot in DC and he corrected the site.

I've also seem people try to correct him and have him get it right. :p

Thanks, Bradley. The DSM Register is known to make mistakes, too. If they excluded Baldwin from their list of candidates, they need to publish a new list.
 
I called my county auditor's office, and Baldwin IS on the Iowa ballot. Thanks for the list, Dave. Surely by now I should have learned not to believe a thing I read in the DSM Register.

Richard responds:

I just telephoned the Elections Division of the Iowa Secretary of State. The woman who answered said Baldwin is on. She says he is on their webpage. She says she can't make excuses for the newspaper.
