As I understand it, the FEC did not state he did not have standing, but they would not join the suit. In other words they are neutral!

The FEC has nothing to do with ballot access (placing candidates on the ballot and ensuring that they are qualified candidates.) That is purely at the state level and the political parties are supposed to make sure that their candidates meet the constitutional requirements before they nominate them. The FEC ONLY handles campaign finance issues.
