Arizona Democratic Party Files Lawsuit to Remove No Labels Party from the Ballot

On March 30, the Arizona Democratic Party sued the Secretary of State to force him to remove No Labels Party from the ballot. The lawsuit is filed in state court. Arizona Democratic Party v No Labels and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, Superior Court, Maricopa County, cv2023-004832.

The Arizona law says when a party petitions for a place on the ballot, it must submit the affidavits of ten Arizona voters who represent the party. The purpose of this law is so that if the party qualifies, the Secretary of State knows who the party officers are. The Democratic Party says that No Labels submitted its ten affidavits too early in the process. It says the ten are not suppose to file until after the petition is complete. Here is the Complaint.

The press stories about this lawsuit are not accurate. They say the case involves whether No Labels must file certain federal campaign finance documents. Although the Complaint discusses No Labels relative to federal campaign finance laws, it does not actually allege that the party should be removed from the Arizona ballot because of anything relating to federal campaign finance laws.

Typo in the last sentence: reason should be reasoning.

Richard won’t link that article because he posts links to commie fake websites like CNN.

Another example of how campaign finance laws are misused to limit ballot access.

There were several articles I could have linked to, but I didn’t think any of them added value to my post. My post is more detailed than those articles. My post mentions the court precedents; those articles don’t mention any precedents.

Bullshit. You didn’t link because it wasn’t from a commie source like all of your other links. Stop lying to us.

There is nothing wrong with having a website that actually works. “Modern” websites are crap.
