Again, you have succeeded in pointing out a distinction. Congratulations. I am not arguing whether or not limiting the number of people who can run by requiring them to show broad support is Constitutional. I suppose any such requirement survives even strict scrutiny. I am arguing that requiring tax returns is not a bar to anyone at all. Since it does not, the level of review should be very low.
