Quitting vs Suspending

The conversation clarifies the difference between suspending and quitting a political campaign. Matt explains that suspending means a candidate is no longer actively campaigning but remains on the ballot. Quitting, however, requires filing paperwork with the state's secretary of state to be removed from the ballot. Graham Platner, who suspended his campaign, must officially quit by Monday to allow for his replacement. Janet Mills, who suspended her campaign, could potentially re-enter the race if circumstances change. The discussion also touches on the logistics of printing ballots, with a deadline in August.
