Colbert, had filed for the Democratic ticket earlier on Thursday and paid the $2,500 filing fee.

Hours later, the party's executive council voted 13-3 against allowing him on the ballot for the January 26 primary contest, party spokeswoman Keiana Page told Reuters. The eight other major Democratic candidates were accepted, she said.

Notic the difference, run as a Democrat pay $2,500 but if you want to run as a Republican the party charges $35,000. Now which party is limiting ballot access?
