Democrats are worried about 2024.
The Arizona Democratic Party is suing to stop No Labels, a centrist group, from being on the ballot in 2024.
Left-leaning groups are fearful a 3rd party could play the spoiler in 2024 and hurt Joe Biden.
After campaigning on fighting for democracy, the Arizona Democratic Party is reportedly suing to stop a third-party organization from accessing the state’s presidential ballot in the 2024 election.
The lawsuit targets No Labels, a centrist group that aims to give voters a non-extreme presidential option next year and has secured ballot access in three states, including Arizona. Democratic officials will file a complaint Thursday in state court in Phoenix alleging that Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat, erroneously accepted signature petitions from the group, The Washington Post reported.
The lawsuit claims that accompanying affidavits from proposed electors were signed before all the petitions were gathered, in violation of state statute. “As a result, the Arizona Democratic Party claims the affidavits purporting to verify the petitions should be considered false and the petitions invalid,” the Post reported.
Arizona Democrats also claim that No Labels, a registered 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization that is not required to disclose its donors, has failed to comply with federal election laws governing political parties, including donation limits and donor disclosure.
The chief strategist for no labels blasted the Democrats saying, “next time you hear this crowd talking about protecting democracy, remember what they are really doing is protecting their turf.”
The Washington Examiner reported:
Members of the No Labels movement pushed back against those allegations, arguing the lawsuit was being used as a political tactic to suppress third-party voices.
“This undemocratic and unscrupulous lawsuit is a disgrace,” Ryan Clancy, chief strategist for No Labels, said in a statement. “Next time you hear this crowd talking about protecting democracy, remember what they are really doing is protecting their turf.”
The lawsuit comes after No Labels qualified to appear on the Arizona ballot in 2024, stoking fears among left-leaning groups about a “spoiler” candidate who could cost Democrats the presidency and open the door for former President Donald Trump to be reelected. The group has vowed to compete for access in several states and has already qualified for ballots in Arizona, Oregon, Alaska, and Colorado.
Hypocrites!
