Why is it hard for third parties to get on the ballot

Question: Why is it hard for third parties to get on the ballot?

It's hard for third parties to get on the ballot because:

People mostly feel that their votes are wasted on a third party candidate because the odds are so heavily stacked against them. Fusion voting also encourages fringe voters to participate in the political system, rather than being alienated from it.

Hope this helps, have a good day. c;
