DNC outs the bernie wing?!?!

That was the biggest sticking point I saw. You have to register in each state whose ballot you want to be on...I thought a single federal registration makes more sense. And to make things more difficult, every state has slightly different requirements and deadlines. Again, to me, it would seem a unified system would make more sense.

Right, the need to register in the state to be ON the ballot in that state. but I was wondering if not registered for the ballot in a particular state would a Write_In count since the candidate has shown intent by being registering in any other state? But i guess not, that would be logical.

Yup, a single federal registration would make more sense. which as scammer myself i see the current process as a scam, i suspect to protect the powers that be.

if it not simple or an elegant solution. somebody is trying to obscure something for no good reason..

Well then I suppose at least those candidates/parties that are registered on the ballot in some states but not in others are still valid as write-ins in all states.(?)

The high entry barriers are a feature, not a bug.
