On February 22, 2025, the U.S. Taxpayers Party of Michigan resolved to take legal action to force the Secretary of State to let it change its name to “Constitution Party.” The national party was formerly known as the U.S. Taxpayers Party, but in 1999 the national party changed its name to the Constitution Party. Every other state unit of the party was permitted to change its name, although a few state affiliates did not seek to change their name.
Generally, states let parties change their names upon request, especially if it a state that doesn’t have partisan registration. Michigan has previously told the party that it will not permit the name change. Among states without partisan registration, Michigan is the only state that has ever denied a qualified party the right to change its name.
Very few states have any law on whether a party may change its name or not. Minnesota and Wisconsin do have such laws, however.

I wonder why they are just getting around to doing this now when the US Taxpayers Party changed its named to the Constitution Party in 1998.
Isn’t this a universal policy for all parties in Michigan?

Andy, the name change was in 1999, at their national convention in St. Louis.
Yes, but that doesn’t change things much.
The name change will not matter very much. They keep losing votes on the ballot line for president. They do OK on the state and local level.
They need to fully embrace White nationalism.
