T.C.A. 2-5-205 sets out two ways for candidate to appear on the presidential preference primary ballot. In the first category are "persons who the secretary of state, in the secretary of state's sole discretion, has determined are generally advocated or recognized as candidates in national news media throughout the United States." The secretary of state is to submit such names to the state election commission. The second route is to submit nominating petitions signed by at least 2,500 registered voters of the party.
