12. I don't get it

Wouldn't Bernie be on the ballot anyway since he's a Democrat?

[Pharaoh]

13. yeah i don't get that either

does Hillary have to do this also ?

[mak3cats]

14. Yes, she does...

Someone wanting to get on the primary ballot has to collect "nominating" signatures from at least 500 registered Democrats in each congressional district (5,000 total). Bernie's getting 85,000 puts him WAY over the mark for anyone to even think about challenging any of his petitions.
