This news story says that former North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory, a national co-chair of No Labels, says he doesn’t intend to register as a member of the No Labels Party, even though it is now a choice on the North Carolina voter registration form. Instead he is still a registered Republican.

The story quotes him as saying that No Labels doesn’t encourage people to register into the party. However, in California, No Labels is using the registration method to get on the ballot, and it probably will do so soon in Delaware as well.

The reporter who wrote the story makes a factual error. The story says that North Carolina won’t provide a primary in 2024 for No Labels because No Labels doesn’t want one. Actually North Carolina doesn’t provide a primary for any newly-qualifying party. New parties in North Carolina nominate by convention, no matter what their wishes are.

Poland held a parliamentary election on October 15. In the lower house, the Sejm, seventeen parties won at least one seat. Almost all parties that won a seat are in alliance with certain other parties. Here is the wikipedia article about the election.

One of the parties that won a few seats is the Confederation of the Polish Crown, which wants to restore the monarchy.

Filing has closed for the Nevada presidential primaries. Only the Democratic and Republican Parties have presidential primaries in Nevada.

There are thirteen Democrats and seven Republicans. Here is the list.

The seven Republicans are John A. Castro, Heath Fulkerson, Nikki Haley, Donald Kjornes, Mike Pence, Tim Scott, and Hirsh Singh. Many prominent Republicans who are seeking the Republican nomination did not file for the Nevada Republican primary. This is because the primary does not actually choose any delegates. Furthermore, Nevada Republican Party rules say that anyone who files in the Republican presidential primary is not eligible to compete in the Nevada Republican caucus, which does elect delegates.

The primaries are on February 6; the Republican caucus is February 8. It seems likely that a great proportion of the Republican presidential primary voters will vote for “None of the Above”, because write-ins are not allowed and Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, and other high-profile names will be missing from the Republican primary ballot.
