Deep dives
Challenges in Securing Ballot Access
Securing ballot access poses challenges, especially in hard-to-reach states like Texas, where significant numbers of signatures are required within a limited timeframe. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Republican National Committee (RNC) employ strategies to prevent third-party candidates from gaining access to the ballot. In New York, for instance, specific signature requirements per county and Congressional district further complicate the process, with third-party campaigns needing to be vigilant against potential schemes to invalidate signatures.
