During 2023 and early 2024, No Labels was trying to get on the ballot in as many states as possible, so as to run a centrist (not yet chosen) presidential candidate. Although it abandoned that effort on April 4, 2024, it is now suing Third Way and Investing in U.S., two groups that tried to interfere with its efforts. See this ElectionLawBlog post, which quotes from a Washington Post article.

In response, No Labels spokeperson Dan Webb said, “The Post reporter pulled public documents from an ongoing court case, showing political operatives – who were doing the bidding of senior Democratic operatives and funders – plotting to “dstroy” No Labels and make us “devastatingly toxic” to citizens who might run on our ticket.”

UPDATE: here is a story in a British newspaper about the dirty tricks used against No Labels.

Even though No Labels didn’t run any nominees for statewide office in November 2024, it appears to still be on the ballot in Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, and Mississippi. Also, it would be on in Louisiana if it paid a $1,000 fee (because it has more than 1,000 registered members).

The November 19 Los Angeles Times has this op-ed by author and talk show host Earl Ofari Hutchinson, defending voters who choose to vote for minor party and independent candidates.

Here is the wikipedia page for Hutchinson.
