I think you only have to pay a fee to be on the ballot in Colorado (like $500) and some other state, like Louisiana.

I think the states where you have to get the most sigs are in California, Texas, North Carolina, West Virginia and New Mexico, but I could be wrong.  I know that Texas is practically impossible; you have to get like 60,000 signatures from people who didn't vote in the primaries.  When I was there, you'd typically only see the Greens and the Libertarians on the ballot and only in a couple of races.
