August 1 is the Kansas deadline for independent candidate petition deadlines. Two presidential independent petitions were filed: Jill Stein, and Ajay Sood. Here is a link to information about Sood, who lives in Shawnee, Kansas. There is a suggestion in on-line material about him that he was born in India.
The only qualified parties in Kansas are Democratic, Republican, and Libertarian. No group has done a party petition in Kansas since Americans Elect in 2011, and Americans Elect went off the ballot in 2012.
Sood’s Facebook profile even indicates that he is from Delhi, India.
Could this year set a record for most presidential candidates on the ballot in at least one state?
I don’t think so. Partly it depends on whether the two foreign-born independent candidates who have filed in a single state are challenged on eligibility.
