The Colorado Secretary of State has released the list of presidential candidates who are not the nominees of any of Colorado’s five qualified parties. Here is the list. There are 18 names on the list. Each of the five qualified parties will also have a nominee, so that makes 23.

The greatest number of presidential candidates on the general election ballot in the past was 16, in Colorado in 2012 and also in 2008. Colorado requires no petition for president in the general election, just a fee of $1,000. There have been many presidential primary ballots in the U.S. with more than 16 names on a single ballot, especially in New Hampshire.

The Secretary of State had previously released a list on August 5. Between August 5 and August 10, six candidates filed. Those eight who filed in the last five days are: Rocky De La Fuente, Tom Hoefling (America’s Party), Gloria La Riva (Socialism & Liberation), Bradford Lyttle (Nonviolent Resistance/Pacifist), Michael Maturen (American Solidarity), Emidio Soltysik (Socialist Party), Mike Smith, and of course Evan McMullin (whose ballot label will be “unaffilated”).

This post originally said 21 candidates would be on, but it has been re-written because two more were added.

The Hill has this story, announcing that Evan McMullin is on the Colorado ballot. The story does not say who is vice-presidential nominee is, but that should be known on Friday when the Colorado Secretary of State releases the information. The story also does not say what McMullin’s ballot label is. It might be “Better for America” or it might be “independent.”

North Carolina requires declared write-in presidential candidates to submit 500 signatures. This sounds easy, but in practice is not. Jill Stein is the only write-in presidential candidate who has enough signatures, according to this page at the Board of Elections. The Constitution Party believes that it submitted enough valid signatures but that some counties refused to check them by the deadline. Monica Moorehead of Workers World Party also submitted over 500 signatures, but was told she didn’t have enough valid.

The largest number of write-ins for president in a general election in North Carolina ever recorded was the 2,108 Ralph Nader received in 1996. He didn’t file for write-in status in 2000. Nor did Jill Stein file in 2012.
