Sore-loser law
In United States politics, a sore-loser law is a law which states that the loser in a primary election can't then run as an independent in the general election.〔(Washingtontimes.com )〕 In most states, these laws do not apply to presidential candidates. Many states accomplish the same requirement by having simultaneous registration dates for the primary and the general election; in fact only the states of Connecticut, Iowa, New York and Vermont don't have either a sore-loser law or simultaneous registration deadlines.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="Sore loser laws" designed to foster major-party rule and prevent dissent )〕
In Michigan, one of the few states where this law applies to presidential elections as well, Gary Johnson was three minutes late to withdraw from the 2012 Republican Primary and was therefore on the ballot. As a result, he was denied ballot access as a Libertarian. The Libertarian Party stated that since petitioning in Michigan is by party, not by person, a Texas businessman who is also named Gary E. Johnson would stand in and run for president as a Libertarian in Michigan, but a U.S. District judge denied their motion. Gary Johnson was certified as a write-in candidate and received 7,774 votes in Michigan in the general election that year.
