Ballot access news reports that the US Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal from the Gary Johnson campaign regarding the Michigan “Sore Loser” Law that prevented his appearance on the November 2012 Michigan ballot, due to his prior appearance on the state’s primary ballot (despite the campaign’s attempt to have him removed from that primary ballot — at issue was a claim by the State of Michigan that a fax from the campaign requesting same missed the deadline by about 3 minutes.)
