I will check on that one...unless you have the exact law to post here. I do not believe that is actually a law here though.

Actually, most states have what's called a "Loser Law". A candidate that runs in the primary cannot run in the general under a third party mainly because they would just be a spoiler. Prime example of this would be in California right now. Condit lost in the primary. There was a lot of speculation that he would go Independent and run for his seat in the general but that was shown here on FR by somebody smarter than me to be impossible because of California's Loser Law. Therefore, Condit is toast. (Good riddance BTW)!

I can't provide title and section on that law. It's just what I heard. If you learn anything, please share it with me.
