  I would be interested to know how much redistricting had to do with candidates not getting on the ballot. I know as someone collecting signatures (as a volunteer) for a candidate for congress, it has become very difficult to collect enough because the DOJ has not even officially blessed the new lines as they have been drawn. Consequently, we are only collecting signatures in the overlap area, and that makes it exponentially more difficult to gather the requisite signatures plus enough above and beyond knowing some of them will get tossed for being on the wrong side of the lines. I wonder if Gingrich and Santorum faced these same difficulties.
