Last month, a Delaware corporation called No Labels.com came into existence, and it hosts a webpage that appears to mimic the website of No Labels, the group that is qualifying as a new party around the nation and which may run a presidential nominee. No Labels v NoLabels.com, 1:23cv-1384.

On December 4, No Labels filed a federal lawsuit to block the NoLabels.com website. Here is the Complaint. It says that the founders of NoLabels.com have not responded to letters from No Labels, and that the identity of the NoLabels.com organization’s founders and officers are cloaked. Thanks to Richard Grayson for this news.

No Labels has held its trademark since 2011. Before it was a party, it was a pressure group.

Oklahoma has been holding presidential primaries starting in 1988, but until now, has never had a presidential primary for any party other than the Democratic and Republican Parties. But in 2024, the Libertarian Party will have a presidential primary, between Jacob Hornberger and Chase Oliver. They each needed to either pay $5,000, or to submit a petition of 1% of the registered Libertarians, in each of the five U.S. House districts. They each needed 203 signatures, and their supporters in Oklahoma obtained those signatures.

Here is a list of all the presidential primary candidates in Oklahoma next year. Thanks to Chris Powell for this news.

Independent Political Report has posted the video of the Libertarian presidential debate held late last month in South Carolina. See it here. It lasts for one hour and 28 minutes. If you don’t want to take the time to watch it, I recommend watching the closing statements, which can be seen in the last eight minutes. The six candidates were Jacob Hornberger, Lars Mapstead, Chase Oliver, Michael Rectenwald, Joshua Smith, and Mike Ter Maat.

The debate was a model of what debates should be, a polite and stimulating discussion about policy, with no rude behaviors. The moderators did an excellent job.
