Best Answer

Every election, there are a dozen or so third parties who get a candidate on the ballot in one or more states. Very few get any electoral votes and very few get on the ballot in all of the states. There are undoubtedly other third parties that do not get enough signatures or raise the money needed to get on any state's ballot. I do not think anyone has made a serious effort count them all. There are also independent candidates for Congress who essentially have their own party.
