U.S. District Court Hears Arguments in No Labels Lawsuit Over Whether Candidates Can Run for Congress and State Office in its Primary — 4 Comments

  1. Does No labels want the state to disregard ballots for write-in candidates in the No Labels primary election and disenfranchise voters?

    Running as a Write-In Candidate

    Candidates running as a write-in candidate do not need to file nomination petitions. However, they must submit the correct write-in nomination paper and a financial disclosure statement (if applicable) via the Candidate Portal.

    For write-in candidates who want to run in the Primary Election, the first day to file these forms with the Secretary of State’s Office is March 10, 2024 and the deadline is June 27, 2024 at 5:00 p.m.

    For write-in candidates who choose to forgo participating in the Primary Election and want to be an official write-in candidate at the General Election only, the first day to file these forms with the Secretary of State’s Office is June 7, 2024 and the deadline is September 26, 2024 at 5:00 p.m.

  2. ANY MERE AZ STATE L-A-W ON HOW CANDIDATES ARE NOMINATED IN MINOR PARTIES – NEW OR OLDE ???

    HOW MANY TONS OF 14-3 BRIEFS GOING TO DEVIL CITY —

    BREAK THE SNAIL’S BACK — OR MERE TRUCKS / PLANES / TRAINS ???

  3. No Labels would argue that write-ins in its primary should not be counted. Probably they would even oppose the state holding a primary for the party.

  4. PARTIES ARE NOT AND HAVE NOT BEEN INDEPENDENT EMPIRES IN NOMINATIONS SINCE THE TEXAS WHITE PRIMARY CASES IN SCOTUS IN 1928-1932.

    PARTIES = FACTIONS OF ALL PUBLIC ELECTORS IN NOMINATIONS OF PUBLIC CANDIDATES FOR PUBLIC OFFICES ACCORDING TO PUBLIC LAWS.

    NOTE ***PUBLIC***.

    SEE ALSO 1989 EU IN SCOTUS.
