Ballotpedia here notes that in 2023, there have been many bills making ballot access more difficult, compared to 2022 and also compared to the number of bills making it easier. The article does not note the New Mexico bill that doubled the number of signatures for non-presidential nominees of qualified parties that nominate by convention.

Richard, I made that observation in a post a few months ago and I think you concurred. What a shameful disgrace about ballot accessing in the USA. It makes me regret being an American in the land of DUM-OCRACY..
