With over a thousand people registering with the Federal Election Commission every cycle, a very few actually make the effort to get on the ballot anywhere. The following have done so. In the past, several such efforts have qualified for delegates and two (Keith Judd and John Wolfe Jr.) received over 40% of the vote in the 2012 Democratic West Virginia and the 2012 Democratic Arkansas primaries, respectively.
The following notable individuals have been the subject of speculation about their possible candidacy, but have publicly denied interest in running.
