This news story says that former North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory, a national co-chair of No Labels, says he doesn’t intend to register as a member of the No Labels Party, even though it is now a choice on the North Carolina voter registration form. Instead he is still a registered Republican.

The story quotes him as saying that No Labels doesn’t encourage people to register into the party. However, in California, No Labels is using the registration method to get on the ballot, and it probably will do so soon in Delaware as well.

The reporter who wrote the story makes a factual error. The story says that North Carolina won’t provide a primary in 2024 for No Labels because No Labels doesn’t want one. Actually North Carolina doesn’t provide a primary for any newly-qualifying party. New parties in North Carolina nominate by convention, no matter what their wishes are.
