1Opinion of the CourtMcKEOWN, Circuit Judge
We examine yet another state's regulation of ballot access as we consider a challenge to ballot qualification laws in California, the country's most populous state. See, e.g. , Ariz. Libertarian Party v. Hobbs , 925 F.3d 1085 (9th Cir. 2019) (addressing Arizona *1104ballot regulations). Together, two California ballot access laws require independent candidates to collect signatures from one percent of California's registered voters-over 170,000 signatures-to appear on a statewide ballot. Independent presidential candidate Roque De La Fuente challenges these requirements as unconstitutional.
