Rick Santorum did not qualify for the Indiana ballot. Mitt Romney and Ron Paul did. The state is still certifying Newt Gingrich's petitions.

Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum has failed to qualify for the Indiana ballot.

Presidential candidates need 500 signatures in each of Indiana‘s nine congressional districts. Marion County‘s voter registration office says the former Pennsylvania senator fell 24 signatures short in the seventh district.

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney‘s petitions have already been certified, and election officials say Texas Congressman Ron Paul has met the threshold. They are still tallying signatures for Newt Gingrich.
