It's the ballot.

Don't confuse the two.

Ballot access sits with the state.

If you meet the Federal Requirements - all we ask is you meet the States requirements to be on the ballot.

Show me the money. All of it.

4. In order to get on the ballot

. . . a candidate for president of the United States must meet a variety of complex, state-specific filing requirements and deadlines. These regulations, known as ballot access laws, determine whether a candidate or party will appear on an election ballot. These laws are set at the state level. A presidential candidate must prepare to meet ballot access requirements well in advance of primaries, caucuses, and the general election.

Lather, rinse, repeat - these laws are set at the STATE level.
