He does have a point, but he may not have a case. He did not get enough signatures to be on the ballot. The two parties do their best to limit ballot access to independents.

The first ballot access law was enacted in 1888, and the laws keep on getting more restrictive. The two parts don't want competition.

Isn't that the truth. It really is all about power and control.
