On April 27, the South Carolina Election Commission determined that Americans Elect has enough valid signatures on its petition, and it is now a ballot-qualified party. The state requires 10,000 signatures. Americans Elect can remain ballot-qualified in South Carolina as long as it continues to run at least one candidate every four years.

Richard, the South Carolina Election Commission does not list Americans Elect as a ballot qualified political party. Could any of the candidates who sought the Democratic or Republican nominations seek to run with Americans Elect?
The person who answers the phone at the South Carolina Election Commission told me the letter was being sent to Americans Elect that very day, saying that Americans Elect’s petition is valid. Maybe the Election Commission is just slow to revise its web page.
