"Roque De La Fuente, with the support of the Reform Party, has filed lawsuits in three states that are attempting to keep him off the ballot. These states are using unconstitutional sore loser laws to deny him ballot access. These states are Pennsylvania, Arkansas and Alabama. The problem with sore loser laws is that they apply to candidates voters directly vote for. When a voter castes a vote for a candidate, legally the voter is not casting a vote for a direct vote for a candidate, but rather for a slate of electors pledged to that candidate. It is true that Roque De La Fuente competed in the Democratic Primary, but the Reform Party electors did not, thus Sore Loser Laws should not apply." IPR
