Though at one point he claimed he was flirting with running as both a Republican and a Democrat in South Carolina, Colbert said he ultimately went with the Democrats because the fee to file for the Republican Party was $35,000, versus the Dems' $2,500.

Why such a big difference in registration fees for running for president?

Wasn't he registering to join the primaries for each party? I imagine they charge their own fees for that, which would cause the difference (though to be so large does make me wonder).

Talking out of my ***, though. I don't actually know anything about it.
