Arizona Clean Elections Commission is Unhappy that Secretary of State Allowed No Labels to Change its Name to Arizona Independent Party

The Arizona Clean Elections Commission, which was created to administer the state’s public funding program, is complaining about the Secretary of State’s decision to let the No Labels Party change its name to the Arizona Independent Party. See this story. The Commission doesn’t dispute the idea that a party can change its name. But the Commission doesn’t like the party’s new name, and says putting “Independent” in the name of any party will cause voter confusion.

At some time or other, 47 states have allowed parties on the ballot which had “independent” or “independence” as their name, or as part of their name. The Independence Party of 1908 was on the ballot in almost all states, and the American Independent Party was on the ballot in many states in 1968, including Arizona.

  1. Don’t print the names of candidates or parties on the ballot. Let the voter write-in candidate names.

  2. SEE THE INFAMOUS 2010 WI ELECTION FOR THAT M PERSON – ELECTED TO USA SENATE

    HOW MANY VERSIONS OF THE M NAME ALLOWED TO BE COUNTED ???

    HOW BAAAADE IS NEW AGE HANDWRITING / PRINTING ???

  3. Expecting all voters to know how to write as an increasingly bad idea, and the rate at which it’s becoming a worse and worse idea is accelerating.

  4. Wikipedia is a bad woke pedo joke site. Totally unreliable, thoroughly biased, even worse than fake news and satire sites.
