WHAT WE'RE DOING ABOUT IT

REASON FOR THE GRADE

• Candidate access: 7,312 signatures; $0 filing fee; estimated independent ballot tax $103,757.28
• Party access: Party formation requires 6,146 signatures for congressional district party petition or 10,000 max; new party candidate filing through declaration/petition
• Bottom line: High candidate petition count outweighs relatively lower party burden.
