why not put all the declared candidates on the ballot?

No limits? 1000 candidates, 10,000 candidates? Can I fill out form and put myself on the ballot just for grins?

Put a $10K entry fee or higher.
Actually I have no problem with a lot of candidates on the primary ballot. I seriously doubt if Va GOP’ers will pull an Alvin Greene, but you never no. If they do, well they they get what they deserve.

I'd rather have 10,000 candidates to choose from than not have a choice at all. Here's a novel idea, why not do what other states do. The other 49 states don't seem to have this issue and neither do they have 1,000's of candidates on their ballots.
