Why did the reform party nominate a joke like Rocky over an actual state representative?

Not an actual state representative, a New Hampshire state representative. There's an important difference — there are 400 seats in the New Hampshire house, and each representative represents 3,300 people on average. It's not any more impressive than Jill Stein's service on the Lexington Town Meeting.

Alliance Party's latest newsletter on ballot access:

"As of now we either are, or fully expect to be, ballot qualified in South Carolina, Delaware, Mississippi, Tennessee, Vermont, and Colorado. We have, in collaboration with the Reform Party of Florida and the Natural Law Party in Michigan expectations of gaining qualification for our ticket in these states as well.

We are feverishly working in many other states such as California, Oklahoma, and Louisiana and are petitioning in Maine, Minnesota, Washington State, Iowa, New Jersey, Idaho, Alaska, and will soon be in Wisconsin, Ohio, Utah, Connecticut, New York, New Mexico, and Virginia. Also on our radar is Rhode Island and others that we hope to petition in."

They also say the Secretary of State of Mississippi has officially recognized the Alliance Party as a qualified political party.

Hawkins officially nominated by the Greens over the weekend. Alleging "vote rigging", runner-up Dario Hunter plans to run as "Independent Green". No word on his ballot access.

The Blankenship nomination whether cause or just a symptom seems to have splintered the Constitution Party as a number of state parties have disaffiliated. There's a new organization called the Life & Liberty Party that looks to be trying to take a lot of those people up. Presidential candidate J.R. Myers.

Per BAN:

The American Independent Party, which is only ballot-qualified in California, will hold its presidential convention on Saturday, August 15, at the home of the Sacramento County chair of the party. Some delegates will participate remotely.
