WHAT WE'RE DOING ABOUT IT

REASON FOR THE GRADE

• Candidate access: 4,105 signatures; $0 filing fee; estimated independent ballot tax $58,249.95
• Party access: Minor party status tied to 2% Secretary of State vote; convention nomination if qualified
• Bottom line: Candidate petition is high and party status depends on vote performance.
