In regards to filing deadlines, apparently John Anderson won lawsuits against them running for president in 1980, and Bill Kristol in an editorial published today says:

"Getting an independent candidate on the ballot in all 50 states is less difficult than conventional wisdom has it. The only states whose ballot access deadlines are before the end of June are Texas and North Carolina, and those deadlines are susceptible to legal challenges that are being drawn up as I write."
