Can states add more qualifications or restrictions on candidates running for president?

I am not sure what you want to know. States can not refuse to accept a constitutionally qualified candidate as president. Each state can pass state laws about how their presidential electors are chosen, so a state with a dominant political party could in theory effectively require that the candidate they vote for is acceptable to the dominant party and meets whatever qualifications they set up behind closed doors. States also set their own rules about whose names appear on the ballots, but these rules would have to be consistent and apply equally to all but it does keep a person with no money and no organization from having his name printed on the ballots and so does, in a way, add a restriction on who can run.
