Today was also the Wisconsin deadline, wasn't it?  Anyone know if everyone made it there?

[Mr. Morden]

All the candidates except Gilmore made it onto the Maryland ballot:

I was looking up New York as well.  On this page:

http://www.elections.ny.gov

they’ve got the candidate filings for Clinton and Sanders, but didn’t see the candidate filings for the Republicans.

[Mr. Morden]

OK, here's the deal my friends.  I initially stickied this thread because I remembered all of the ridiculous mishaps with ballot access from multiple candidates back in 2012.  Remember when Paul and Romney were the only candidates to make it onto the Virginia ballot?  Good times.

With the large number of joke candidates running on a shoestring this time, I assumed we'd have similar mishaps.  However, the campaigns largely proved to be more on top of things than I would have predicted.  It was really just Gilmore and Pataki who kept missing deadlines, and Pataki's out of the race now.  For that matter, second tier candidates who sometimes messed up, like O'Malley and Huckabee, are out of the race now too.  The only candidate left who ever fails to make it onto these ballots is Gilmore.  With only, what?  17 or 18 ballot deadlines left (mostly late primaries that may well happen after both nominations are decided)?  Do we want to bother keeping this thread stickied just so that we can more easily offer a way to laugh some more at Gilmore?

If no one violently objects, I'll unsticky this thread some time later today / tomorrow.

[Mr. Morden]

OK, well, you guys are welcome to continue to track Rocky.  This thread is still here, and it's not going to be locked.  But it doesn't really merit being stickied anymore, IMHO, so I'm setting it free...

Willie Wilson's name was left off of the Mississippi primary ballot by mistake, and now he's asking the state supreme court to order a reprinting of the ballots:

The validity of the signatures gathered to put both Kasich and Cruz on the ballot in Pennsylvania is being challenged in court:

Both challenges will be heard in court this week.
