Follow the link to Progressives, South Bend to an essay by Kathleen Petitjean, who explains the amazing difficulties of getting a minor party candidate on the ballot in Indiana.

Ms. Petijean ran a strong campaign of her own as the Green Party nominee opposing a well entrenched incumbent for South Bend Common Council.
She garnered nearly 25 percent of the vote against the "Councilman for life".
I hope things are better in your state.
