    Getting on the ballot is a VERY tiny step compared to what it takes to win. You can get on the ballot for a local election by paying a filing fee and asking a few friends to sign.

    Actually winning means spending a huge amount of time talking with community groups, obtaining earned media, raising money, and actually convincing people that you can govern in a way that’s better than the other candidates.

      the green party literally goes to court over ballot access at least twice a decade. you are either woefully misinformed or intentionally spreading misinformation
