The Green Party of Utah fell short of getting enough signatures to put their presidential candidate on the November ballot — falling 300 short of the required 2000 signatures. The party apparently is still free to put nominees on the ballot as independent candidates.

The Green Parties — Greens have been merging with other parties around the nation — participated in the Super Tuesday presidential primaries in several states. Former Democratic (now a Green) Georgia Rep. Cynthia McKinney led in Arkansas, District of Columbia and Illinois.

Ralph Nader won by a landslide in California. Nader has not announced as a candidate, but has an exploratory committee.
