I’m just trying to understand why a presidential candidate has to submit 10,000 signatures to be on the ballot.
Why not 107,321?
Why not 1,000?
Yes, I like the 107,321 number. How did you come up with that? Let's put it up to a vote!
Not just 10K, 10K unique and verifiable signatures. Except in Wisconsin of course. :’)
Unless you want Clarence the clown or 10,000 OWS’ers on the ballot, you have to have some standard that needs to be met to show that a candidate is serious about his intentions.
I don’t think 10,000 signatures is an undue hardship to obtain. Just have 20 people stand in front of malls and get 750 sigs a pice.
