When was the last time a presidential candidate was kept off of ballots in the US?

All of the search results I’m getting are about OMB and not giving any history.

I’ve read that it may have been the 1860 election, but I’m not sure if it has happened since.

Do any of our Poliboard historians have a reference or know for sure?

Congressman Massie has a reminder to various state officials who want to F Around.

The last time that this happened was in 1964, when Lyndon B. Johnson was elected President without appearing on the ballot in Alabama

Someone correct me if I am wrong

When was the last time a candidate had a group of fanatic followers who think their candidate can do no wrong and stormed a Capitol and attacked people, broke windows damaged property and stole things like laptops and government documents?

Well in reality ballot access is restricted by the two scumbag parties we pretend to have, which is really just a one party system. So a whole lot of candidates are being left off the ballot because it’s not a free and fair election process

Well done Representative Massie, particularly given Trump tried to get you primaried because you objected to all the Covid spending.

It probably most famously happened with Lincoln.

IDK if it was them but there have been some 3rd party candidates who were excluded because they didn't meet the deadlines for qualifications in some states. This happened to the Libertarian party once.

Broken windows and damaged property?
For reals?

Based on the kangaroo court in congress, I would have thought it was some sort of invasion or coup.

Kanye West in 2020. Dems in Madison refused to open the door for his aide during COVID lockdowns and so they missed the deadline. Biden then "won" WI months later by a late spurt of fake ballots.

It was fraudulent in that case. Keep them from playing spoiler.

Have never heard that. Doesn’t sound right, but I really don’t know.

It's true. Alabamans could vote for a slate of Democrat electors, but not for LBJ specifically.
