Ridiculous. If everyone who wants to get on the ballot is allowed to have their name on it regardless of any real ability to demonstrate any public support, you could have thousands of candidates. There have to be criteria in order to pare down the size of the ballot. Should anyone who wants to be on the debate stage be allowed to appear?
If Christie’s campaign team cannot muster 2,000 voters on a petition, he is not a viable candidate. Let’s have a little common sense.
There were a lot of Freepers here kicking and screaming when Alan Keys was denied debate space. If only he could be heard he would be viable.
