"Attached is a ballot access spreadsheet prepared by Bob Johnston that
may be of interest.
Nick"
I thank Mr. Johnston for compiling that chart.
It is a little more complicated than what the chart says, since some states
have different rules for minor parties and major parties. For example:
http://ballotpedia.org/Ballot_access_requirements_for_political_candidates_i
n_Indiana#Process_to_establish_a_political_party
"If the new party's candidate for Secretary of State [of Indiana] receives
at least two percent of the total votes cast, the party can nominate its
candidates at a state convention rather than by petition method. If the new
party's candidate for Secretary of State receives at least 10 percent of the
total vote, the party can nominate its candidates through a primary
election."
