No Labels qualified as a party in Arizona in March 2023. Although the Secretary of State of Arizona has not published a registration tally since January 2023, Maricopa County, the most populous county in the state, keeps a running tally. As of May 4, No Labels has 1,121 registrants. Thanks to John Geyer for this information. The state will have a new registration tally later this month.

No Labels qualified as a party in Colorado in January 2023. The May 1 2023 tally shows No Labels has 807 registrants.

No Labels is also qualified as a Limited Political Party in Alaska, which means it is on the ballot for president, but no other office. In Alaska, limited political parties do not get a registration tally.

No Labels is also qualified in Florida, but the Secretary of State of Florida does not post the number of registrants in qualified minor parties on his website so the number is difficult to get, except just prior to any statewide primary or election.

No Labels qualified in Oregon in March, but the Secretary of State’s website doesn’t list any No Labels registrants for the May 1 tally, although it probably will for the June 1 tally.

According to this story, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro supports moving the 2024 primary for all office from April to March. The article says the main opposition to the move comes from people concerned that primary candidates would need to petition in the Christmas-New Years week. It doesn’t seem to occur to Pennsylvania legislators that they don’t need to require primary candidates to submit petitions. Over half the states do not require primary candidates to submit petitions to get on a primary ballot. Instead they depend on filing fees. Pennsylvania already has filing fees, but they are minimal amounts of money.

In August 2017, some Georgia voters filed a lawsuit in state court, alleging that the Georgia vote-counting system is not reliable and the election results are not subject to being audited. Curling v Raffensperger, Superior Court, Fulton County, 2017cv-292233. A few weeks later it was removed to federal court, Curling v Raffensperger, n.d., 1:17cv-02989. It was assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Amy Totenberg, an Obama appointee.

On May 2, 2023, a five-hour hearing was held to determine if there will be a trial. See this story. One of the reasons the case has taken so long is that in 2019, the Georgia legislature passed HB 316, which provided that all the voting machines should be refigured to produce a ballot marking device, a piece of paper handed to every voter after the voter finishes voting. The paper tells the voter which candidates the voter voted for. Plaintiffs are not satisfied with this modification, because they argue the paper produced by the machine doesn’t necessarily prove that the machine actually recorded the results in conformity to what the paper shows. Instead they want a paper ballot marked by the voter and then read by an optical scanner. With that system, the paper ballots themselves could always be counted by hand, if there were any doubt that the optical scanner had done a good job.

This case is possibly the most complex election law case ever filed, with tens of thousands of pages of documents already filed.
