Ross Perot in 1992 collected more signatures than any presidential candidate in history. He used the independent petition method in every state except in Oregon, even though the signature burden on him would have been lighter if he had formed new one-state parties in certain states. Also he did not accept the nomination of any pre-existing ballot-qualified party in 1992. Also, back in 1992, the ballot access laws for presidential candidates running outside the major parties were more severe than they are today.
On July 31, the Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. held a press conference about ballot access, and asserted that he had collected over 1,000,000 signatures, a record. The claim that this is a record is not true, because of the Perot example. It is also that Lenora Fulani in 1988, John Anderson in 1980, and George Wallace in 1968 collected more than 1,000,000.
See this statement from the Kennedy campaign. Kennedy did not need to collect any signatures in California or Florida, because ballot-qualified parties that themselves didn’t need any signatures nominated him. Also he needed fewer signatures than Ross Perot needed in 1992, because of easier requirements now than in 1992, in Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wyoming.
The Lenora Fulani presidential campaign collected 1.1 million ballot access signatures in 1988
thank you. I amended the post.
can’t blame Bobby for wanting media attention since the media is ignoring him.
Or just making crap up and being ignorant of history. Take your pick.
Does it look like he’ll be on the ballot in every state?
Yes.
Does he support term limits?
Does he support standing counts?

Why except Oregon?
Brainworm Bobby is fading, and being slow to adjust, with Kamala is a Cop replacing Dementia Joe. I emailed Winger a piece about that. He’s not written about it; I’ll have something tomorrow.
How can Kamala be a cop when she’s for defunding the police?
Since Biden dropped out of the race and Harris began getting floated as the Democrat presumptive nominee, Kennedy’s campaign has seen a surge in support. Traffic to his campaign site and socials have increased by a factor ten or more. And the rate at which people are volunteering is up too.
Don’t (pretend to) believe everything you hear from Democratic Party’s mouthpieces like The Hill, the NYT and the Wallstreet Journal; or from polls like Quinipiac and Siena, which cherry-pick small samples of respondents as if they are the North Carolina Board of Elections following up Democrat allegations against the Justice for All Party…
No way a corrupt cop like Kamaler supports defunding the police.

She has never been a law enforcement officer. She worked as a prosecutor and district attorney, but that is an attorney job, conducted in offices and courtrooms. She has never had any part in directly apprehending and arresting criminals. She hasn’t had to put her life or health on the line patrolling the streets or deal with victims when first reporting crimes against them or defuse dangerous situations like fights or domestic violence when arriving on the scene. Calling her a cop is a big stretch. Prosecutors and district attorney’s are not what “cop” usually refers to.
