Presidency2004:
Ballot Access
Use
this page to track which Presidential candidates have qualified
for ballot spots in the various states. 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 George W. Bush and
Democratic nominee John Kerry 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.
