All right I have a question about the process. [View all]

Why is Bernie NOT on the ballot in 13 states? I thought if a candidate threw their hat in the ring
and did all the necessary paperwork they are on all ballots in all 50 states. I tried to google it
but couldn't find the answer. I hate to throw this question out there. I guess I should know the answer!
