Why is ballot access such a barrier to Paul?

[TruePatriot44]

Wouldn't people supporting Paul write his name in?

Are there really that many people who vote for someone on the ballot by seeing their name alone? It seems like if you're going to vote, you usually know who you are voting for before pulling up to your voting place.

In some states, there are no write-ins, and it pretty much makes it virtually impossible to win since you are automatically totally ignored. The LP nominee gets more press than write-in candidates. Also, it guarantees your votes will be counted election night instead of over the next week.

if people think ron paul's no longer running when his name is on the ballot how do you think they will react when his name is not on the ballot


I think the grassroots could get ron on the ballot in each state without a problem
