A group planning to nominate an independent presidential candidate online has submitted petitions to the Wyoming secretary of state for a spot on the state's November ballot. Americans Elect says it submitted more than 8,000 signatures on Thursday, which it says is more than double the number required. The secretary of state must validate the signatures before the group gets on the ballot. The group plans to choose its nominee in an online convention in June. Americans Elect says it has been certified for the ballots of 16 states, including Colorado and Utah. It says it's gathering signatures or has finished gathering them in nearly 20 others, including Idaho, Montana, Nebraska and South Dakota. The group says it hopes to be on all 50 states' ballots.
