They could make the "candidates" qualify by different standards in each home room. In "Colorado" it might be a fee of a penny. In other classes, a petition with 1% of the "voters". In others, the candidates might have to run an obstacle course in a certain time with the major parties trying to knock them off. If they didn't qualify, they could run 100 yards in 15 seconds to ask a "federal judge" to place them on the ballot.
