It's probably true, but one has to wonder these days.

O'Malley pulled 4%-5% of the vote.

Not sure what that means delegate-wise but every one counts.

Too bad.

Same reason why the Congressional candidates were on the ballot despite the fact that a vote in that race doesn't count - map redrawing means that Primary is later on.

Naming candidates who had withdrawn.

Thought to warn people and I guess striking out a name on a ballot is illegal.

Too bad. Really.

T he first has been mentioned - ballots are printed well in advance of each election (they have to be vetted, plus some are sent overseas)

The second is less well known - there's a legal difference between dropping out and suspending a campaign. "Suspending" means you just aren't campaigning any longer... but you remain on the ballot (and, more importantly, can continue raising funds to pay off campaign debts).

How they ignored him in the primaries broke my heart.
