WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court refused Tuesday to intervene in a dispute between Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr and Louisiana over Barr's bid to get on the state's ballot.

The justices denied Barr's request for help in a one-sentence order.

The Libertarians blamed Hurricane Gustav for making them miss the deadline to be included on Louisiana ballot.

Barr is on the ballot in 43 states, though court challenges could change that.
