Primary ballot access megathread

[F_S_USATN]

Rubio sent in his signatures for VA today. 9300 for check, he needed 5k.

[Mr. Morden]

So I guess the Oklahoma filing deadline was today.  Is this the final list?:

https://www.ok.gov/elections/documents/2016PPPCandidateList.pdf

If so, then I guess all the candidates made it on the ballot except for Gilmore and Pataki.

I think Gilmore and Pataki are still the only candidates who've been left off of any of the ballots completely, though some of the others have failed to field full delegate slates in certain states.

[Mr. Morden]

So apparently Gilmore, Huckabee, Pataki, and Santorum haven't yet submitted their signatures in Virginia?

Filing in Texas opened on Saturday 14.

Candidates who have filed so far are:

Donald Trump (R)
Ben Carson (R)
Jeb Bush (R)
Marco Rubio (R)

Keith Judd (D)

Someone named Hilary Clinton has filed to challenge Judd.

Cruz and Sanders have filed.

Bush, Carson, Christie, Cruz, Fiorina, Huckabee, Kasich, Rubio, Trump have filed.

Gilmore, Graham, Paul, Pataki, and Santorum are still out.

Keith Judd, Rocky De La Fuente, and Willie Wilson have filed for the Democrats, along with Clinton and Sanders.

[Mr. Morden]

The Idaho deadline has passed, and all the candidates except Gilmore and Pataki made it on the ballot:

Meanwhile, all 14 Republican candidates are on the North Carolina ballot:

[Mr. Morden]

Huckabee and Santorum have both submitted their signatures in Virginia:

http://www.richmond.com/news/virginia/article_b7b8a1f9-a7d7-5ac7-aa53-22cc7aacf55f.html

That leaves Gilmore and Pataki as the only candidates to have not done so.

[Mr. Morden]

Looks like Gilmore submitted his signatures for the Virginia ballot, meaning that Pataki is the only one who missed out:

http://www.richmond.com/news/virginia/article_b7b8a1f9-a7d7-5ac7-aa53-22cc7aacf55f.html

Not sure if they’ve verified all the signatures for all the candidates yet though, so I don’t know if everyone who submitted their petitions is definitely on the ballot.

Does anyone know when the NH primary date will be officially set ?

On the NH SOS page, there's still no official date for this thing and I guess they will have to mail out the absentee ballots at some point ...

[jimrtex]

Texas deadline is December 14 at 6 pm.

Because candidates file with the state party chair and not the SOS, the final lists may not be known immediately. Party chairs are required to send candidate lists to the SOS who posts them on the SOS website, but these are not validated. The state party chair will direct the county chairs to check the SOS website to find out who should be on the ballot in their county.

Bush, Carson, Christie, Cruz, Fiorina, Graham, Huckabee, Kasich, Paul, Rubio, Trump have filed.

Gilmore, Pataki, and Santorum are still out.

Keith Judd, Rocky De La Fuente, Calvis Hawes and Willie Wilson have filed for the Democrats, along with Clinton, O'Malley, and Sanders.

[Senator Cris]

Trump files in HI, OH and SC.

[Senator Cris]

Kasich files in KY, MA, Northern Mariana Islands, NC, OK, TX, and U.S. Virgin Islands.

[Mr. Morden]

So Ballotpedia now lists today as the deadline for both Arizona and Texas.  Where do we stand on those?

[Mr. Morden]

Looks like all the GOP candidates except Gilmore and Pataki are already on the Arizona ballot:

[Mr. Morden]

Pataki made it onto the Arizona ballot, but Gilmore didn't:

Meanwhile, both Gilmore and Pataki missed the Texas filing deadline:

Geez, why don't those two just drop out already?

Sanders & Gilmore will be on top of ballot in MA

Calling it now. Massachusetts will be Gilmore's second best state.

In Ohio Roque "Rocky" de la Fuente filed to run for the Democrats while George Pataki, once again, didn't file for the Republicans

12 Republicans and 5 Democrats filed.  Willie Wilson was the other Democrat to file.

[Mr. Morden]

In Ohio Roque "Rocky" de la Fuente filed to run for the Democrats while George Pataki, once again, didn't file for the Republicans

Gilmore is of course the other Republican candidate who didn't file in Michigan.  He's apparently sufficiently obscure that that story didn't even mention his name.

As like the polls, the only thing worse than being at 0 is not even being at 0.

[Mr. Morden]

Maine caucus: 12 of the 14 Republican candidates make it on the ballot:

http://www.mainegop.com/maine-gop-announces-2016-presidential-nominating-caucus-candidates/

Who's missing?  Gilmore and Pataki of course.  Gilmore and Pataki are also the only candidates who miss the filing deadline in Ohio:

However, Christie, Graham, Huckabee, Paula, and Santorum, while making it on the Ohio ballot, don't have a full delegate slate.  The other seven candidates do.  So what happens if one of those five candidates wins Ohio?

You must be logged in to read this quote.

What other deadlines are coming up?  Ballotpedia says Dec. 21 for NC and Dec. 29 for MO, and that's it for December.

I just explained in the primary calendar thread that Bill Gardner has now set the date:

On Monday at 12:15pm, there will be a random drawing to decide the order of names on the North Carolina primary ballot.  More info here:

Apparently, you can watch a live stream of it on the internet(!).
