The List of Presidential Candidates May Be Longer Than You Think

News outlets have exhaustively reported the wide field of Republicans who are running for president in next year’s election. But those organizations are, in fact, underreporting the numbers, notes Mother Jones. In reality, 448 people from around the country have filed the form to run for president. Along with various other, smaller party affiliations there are 118 independents, 100 Republicans, and 74 Democrats who’ve thrown their hats into the ring—and that’s a lot of hats.

Among the candidates from the High Plains region are Karin Swanson of Amarillo, Dyjuan Barnes of Liberal, and Father J. Boydston of Springfield, Colorado. California has the most candidates, with 59. Alaska is the only state without a candidate.
