That post raises the issue of a true double-standard that does exist in our electoral system. The Democrats and the Republicans are allowed to file a "provisional" petitions to meet state deadlines and then later amend them with the names of their nominees.

On the other hand, third parties don't have that luxury. They have to file their ballot petitions by the deadline with the names of their nominees filled in.

It's just one more example of how the two major parties have hijacked the electoral process in this country.
