There’s little concern that the independent or third-party candidates would actually win the presidency, but they could siphon support from the ultimate Democratic and Republican nominees.
In Arizona, alone, minor party candidates must collect more than 34,000 signatures to qualify for the general election ballot.
An independent candidate must collect more than 43,000 signatures.
Michigan requires a minor party candidate to collect 44,619 signatures and independents to collect 12,000.
And in Nevada, a minor party or independent candidate must collect 10,095 signatures to qualify for the ballot.
