Politico has a story on the ballot access issues for GOP candidates, including a mention of the fact that Jim Gilmore is signing other candidates’ petitions in Virginia:

There are delegate candidates who have taken out petitions for:

Bush
Carson
Cruz
Fiorina
Huckabee
Kasich
Paul
Rubio
Santorum
Trump

According to this:

http://sos.tn.gov/sites/default/files/forms/Petition%20Delegates%20as%20of%2011-25-15%20%28By%20Candidate%20Supported%29.pdf

it looks like Christie also has some delegate candidates as well now.  But apparently no one wants to be a delegate for Gilmore, Graham, or Pataki.

Virginia has one of the hardest petition requirements and includes a distribution requirement. There was another story about a congressman who was gathering signatures on election day in November, and Ed Gillespie walked up, and signed the petition. Someone gathering signatures for Carson showed up, but Gillespie said that he had already signed his petition.

In Texas, judges in larger counties need a petition, so there are petition parties where a party activist can go around and sign every candidate's petition.

Florida ballot:

http://postonpolitics.blog.palmbeachpost.com/2015/11/30/florida-republicans-democrats-set-candidate-lineup-for-march-presidential-primary/

Clinton, O’Malley, and Sanders all make it on the Democratic side.  The Republican side includes everyone except Pataki (yes, even Gilmore made it on the ballot, because he attended that “Sunshine Summit”, or whatever it was called).

Also, on Michigan:

Anyone want to put together a table to track who's on which ballot?

As previously noted, six of the GOP candidates already submitted their signatures for the Virginia ballot.  Looks like six more have scheduled “signature pre-checks”: Graham, Paul, Rubio, Fiorina, Gilmore, and Huckabee.  That just leaves Pataki and Santorum who we haven’t heard from.

Everyone but Gilmore makes Georgia ballot.

All 14 Pubs make Tennessee ballot, but only Bush, Cruz, Rubio, and Trump have full delegate slates.

So it seems Gilmore/Pataki are actually trying to get on all the ballots, but their success is obviously quite another story.

What's the practical consequence of not having a full delegate slate in this case?  As I recall, when we were talking about Alabama, it sounded like it didn't make much difference.  If you win more delegates than have signed up for you, the state party just assigns some to you, and they're pledged to support you on the first ballot at the convention.  Does it work the same way in Tennessee?

Voters choose from among delegate candidates supporting each candidate. The candidates can choose between N+1 and 2N candidates who have filed per CD (or at-large).

There is generally a 20% threshold, unless all candidates receive less than 20% of the popular vote, so for most candidates there is little consequence of not having enough delegates candidates.

Louisiana's filing period started today. Deadline is December 4.
Huckabee already filed.

It started on Wednesday, and the deadline is today?  That's not a very big window of time.

Any update on who's filed there?

Per Twitter, it looks like everyone but Gilmore and Pataki has filed in LA as of yesterday.

Also, Trump is now on the ballot in Missouri and Utah.

OK, I just searched on the SoS website, and indeed, it looks like everyone except Gilmore and Pataki made it on the ballot:

Ballotpedia says that our next deadlines are Idaho (Republicans only) and Oklahoma on Wednesday, Viriginia on Thursday, and Michigan on Friday.

Where do we stand on those?  Looks like no one’s filed in Oklahoma yet, but that’s because, according to their SoS website:

https://www.ok.gov/elections/

filing doesn’t even start until Monday.  So I guess candidates then have Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday to file, and that’s it.

Clinton, O’Malley, and Sanders all on the list in Oklahoma.

On the GOP side, it’s Rubio, Carson, Christie, Santorum, Huckabee, Fiorina, Bush, Kasich, and Trump:

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

So Cruz, Gilmore, Graham, Pataki, and Paul have yet to file, but they have until Wednesday.
