You asked the question and I answered it. The fact is that the
state's determine who gets placed on the ballot.

For the primary. I don't think the state has as much say over the
national election, but would be willing to look at evidence to the
contrary.

You've got it backwards. The state has very little, if any, say in the
primaries - they are run by the political parties - and almost complete say
over the general election.
