Just about every state has special ballot access rules for "major political parties" (the term varies) that give them a streamlined path to having their nominees appear on the general election ballot. A party generally qualifies for this status by getting above some threshold number of votes in some previous recent election(s).

The Democratic and Republican parties qualify as "major parties" in every jurisdiction that has the concept.
