| Presidency2008:
Ballot Access
Track
which Presidential candidates have qualified for ballot spots
in the various states. An "x" indicates the candidate
has qualified for the ballot in a state. A question mark ("?")
indicates a legal challenge is pending. "w/i" indicates
the person is running as a filed write-in candidate in a state.
Note
#1: Republican nominee John McCain and Democratic
nominee Barack Obama have automatic ballot status
in all 50 states and DC, so they are not included
in the chart below.
Note
#2: Socialist Workers Party nominee Roger Calero
is a naturalized US citizen who is constitutionally ineligible
to be President. His ballot status below also includes the stand-in
slate headed by substitute SWP nominee James Harris
in those states where Calero was legally barred from ballot access.
