UPDATE!! THIS MAY BE OLD INFORMATION THAT I POSTED
I AM NOT SURE YET. THIS IS WHERE IT CAME FROM:

I still checking. I would unpublish but I'd rather let it be known that I may have posted BAD INFORMATION and to disregard it than to just make it disappear. If this is the wrong procedure, please let me know and I will unpublish or whatever I need to do.
I was just so happy to see something positive, and people over there are pretty smart, so I flew with it. Part of it maybe be, I have to admit, because after Warren's perfidious behavior and President Peace Prize with his lame ass attempt to throw the election, maybe I jumped the gun and it makes sense that this is not about the GE.

I would really love to understand what is going on.
I trust Bernie, so I will be patient to find out.
Where on the Bernie site?
I was searching his website yesterday, Amanda, for an inkling of info about what he might do. He looked so whipped and bamboozled on Thursday, going to and fro among Obama, Biden and Reid and getting pummeled. Thanks so much.
The link is where it says 'Go Bernie Sanders' under the list.
but here it is again:

Do we know why such a few states?
Is he already able to be placed on the ballot in the rest, or ineligible, or what?

But I thought it was past Texas' deadline
I think edg posted that here somewhere. If so, but he's on the ballot there, that means the paperwork was done earlier and my man Bernie is even more DA BOMB! It also means I can vote for him! Woot! Go Bernie!!!!
Are we sure that this wasn't for the primaries?
I don't know. I've been checking and it might be. I've updated
my OP with what I've found since.
If it's wrong, I apologize. I guess I was desperate for some good news and jumped the gun. I got the story from here...

Old post, so sorry
I posted it from here to Kossaks for Sanders, someone looked right away, said it was an old primary page.

Ballot access
Please excuse the interruption from a concerned lurker, initially interested in this post and whether it was based on a misunderstanding. While I was getting registered, you’ve confirmed that what’s on the campaign website is related to primary ballot access, but there are so many hopeful blog comments and tweets out there, favoring Sanders continuing the campaign outside the D party, that it’s important to emphasize what the effort would be.
General election ballot access signature requirements for independents can be huge, and signature gathering timeframes can be set by law. In my state that period is almost over. Most states also have at least minimal filing requirements for write-in candidates.
Some general information I hope you will share for people seeking electoral alternatives:

Heres whats strange
The Green Party is already on the ballot in these states that are on the list: NY DE OH TX 20 states in total. http://www.gp.org/ballotaccess
The Libertarian Party is on the ballot in 33 states. https://www.lp.org/2016-presidential-ballot-access-map
So no matter how I slice and dice...... the list of states on bernies website makes no sense, unless its an old list.
FDR 9-23-33, "If we cannot do this one way, we will do it another way. But do it we will.
It is an old primary list
Looks like the Bernie campaign forgot to take this down. But first I think they need to decompress, get very drunk, sleep, take walks in nature, and then think very hard about their next steps. I hope they go the third party route. But it is a tough route to follow and make successful.
I feel like getting drunk myself. And I don't drink (because it
makes me really ill.) But I'm sure thinking that a good old-fashioned wing-ding is long overdue.
Edit: as/is

Possible cause for joy
is Bernie's new posting of a pic & quote of MLK on his senator FB page:
https://www.facebook.com/senatorsanders/
I am cautiously optimistic.
Thank you.
