The Maine Secretary of State has kindly released the November 30, 2023 registration data, even though it is not on the state’s website yet. These totals include active and inactive voters; the active total alone is still not available, so comparison with past data is not too meaningful.
Democratic: 400,660; Republican 321,615; Green Independent 47,136; No Labels 8,246; Libertarian 3,185; Forward 31; independent and miscellaneous 367,264; total 1,148,146.
On November 26, the Alabama Republican Party voted 9-8 to let Gerrick Wilkins run in the 2024 Republican primary for U.S. House. In 2022 he donated $250 to the Libertarian Party. The party bylaws say no one can run in the Republican primary who donated money to the nominee of another party, so he was challenged. However, technically, he did not violate the Republican bylaws because he gave his donation to the Libertarian Party per se, not to any particular Libertarian Party candidate. See this story.
No Labels had previously said it would hold a presidential nominating convention in Dallas in April 2024, but now the group has cancelled that plan. Instead it will have a virtual convention. See this story.
The Oregon Secretary of State’s website is very good for voter registration data by party, generally. However even though No Labels has been a qualified party for several months, the website didn’t include the No Labels registration total. The state will fix this problem soon, but in the meantime it has revealed that No Labels has 1,485 registrants.
Here is the Black Friday oped in The Miami Herald.
