But yeah. that does suck. I don't think there is a fee for the voter though, only the candidate.

I'd have to check, but that may be on a per-state basis, but yeah, it's $$ the candidate has to put up, not the voter. Although, it wouldn't surprise me one iota if they put some sort of "voting tax" in place.
Still, I don't think there should be a fee involved to put your name on the ballot. Maybe a form to fill out, but it should be every citizens right to be able to put their name on the ballot without a fee for doing so. However, it's pretty much negated by the electoral college, that does NOT have to follow the "popular" vote.
