The major issue has been whether to limit the total amount of money that a candidate may collect.

These candidates collected 0.81% of the total popular vote.

Only ten candidates collected the required 100,000 signatures and were eligible to run for President.

Those five European candidates collected nearly 7000 votes between them.

Thus far, candidates in the 33 Senate races have collected $163 million.

In the 11 December 1975 election, the party's four candidates collected 141 votes, less than 0.01% of the popular vote.

In the 26 April 1979 elections, its four candidates collected 297 votes, 0.02% of the popular vote.

So now, candidates are collecting some of the biggest individual contributions allowed in the last three decades.

In order to win the nomination, a candidate must collect 2,162 delegates.

To qualify, each candidate must collect at least one million signatures before April 14.
