Most states have much looser rules for candidates for President then for
the House of Representatives and the Senate. I see for the state of
Washington a long list including at least 3 Marxist candidates (at least
one of those is Trotskyist). None claim to be American Communist Party.

ACP still exists but Gus Hall pretty much singlehandedly kept it together
after HUAC did everything possible to rid the country of everything that
vaguely smelled like communism.  When Gus Hall died it pretty much came
apart.  They do still exist and the do sometimes run candidates for
president but there is little more behind them today than a PO box.

The RCP (Maoist) and the Trotskyites are pretty marginal but the ACP is
marginal even by those standards.
