    Yes, the Party. If you are in the Party, you are automatically put on the ballot. All others have to petition. This is just one of the issues that keep the incumbency at 95%, with Party (DNC/GOP) candidates getting 98% of the vote. We have to remove the advantage of incumbency, make everybody who wants to be on the ballot petition to do so, for starters... Then we gotta kill the 501c deductions, that will take care of the money issue
