Nonprofit seeks third spot on 2012 presidential ballot

Representatives of Americans Elect have spent the last two years crossing America to collect enough signatures to put a third candidate on the 2012 presidential ballot.

Americans Elect has approximately 400 people working to get enough signatures in every state, 3 million total, to gain ballot access for the third candidate. The candidate would be elected in an online primary in June 2012 and would then appear on the ballot in November 2012 for the presidential election.
