No Labels confirmed as new political party with ballot access in Maine
Portland Press Herald ^ | January 5, 2024 | Rachel Ohm

No Labels, a national group preparing for a potential third-party presidential campaign this fall, has qualified as a political party in Maine, Secretary of State Shenna Bellows said on Friday.

Bellows said No Labels had met the requirement that it enroll at least 5,000 voters into the new party, making it eligible to participate in the June primaries and November general election. As of Tuesday, there were approximately 9,423 Maine voters enrolled in the No Labels Party, the Department of the Secretary of State said.

“This milestone validates what has been clear for a long time, which is that the No Labels message and movement resonates with people across this great state,” Justin Schair, No Labels Maine state co-chair, said in a prepared statement.

This is great news for Trump giving him a much better chance to win Maine in November since No Labels are sure to nominate a couple of Squishes that would only take votes away from the Democrats.

And HOW does No Labels take votes away from Trump? Let's see... If they put up a Manchin-Cheney ticket you really think that would draw more votes from Trump than from the Democrats? I think...NOT!

No Labels are also qualified in some of the battleground states which is GOOD NEWS. Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina among others.

As I’ve noted before, when more than two parties compete in an election, the party that is able to hold their voters the best will win - and no one, not even Reagan, could hold his voters like Trump does.

So it looks like Maine is all Trump now!

Speaking of Reagan, a lot of political analysts at the time (1980) thought that John Anderson, running Third Party would somehow hurt the Gipper because he was a Republican in Congress. But they were WRONG! Why? Because a lot of Democrats who would never vote for Reagan, cast their ballots for Anderson thus helping Jimmy Carter to lose.

“mandatory runoffs would fix this ...”

For the Democrats, though. Trump will get all of his votes on the first round.

Unless those RCV-enabled voting machines Maine uses switch Trump’s votes to the third party candidate...

Maine has RCV for a reason...

Yes, this, absolutely.

No labels is the second coming of (the uber weasel) Perot.

It's only purpose is to split our GOP party.

(Even more than Mister Trump is choosing to split our party into warring factions.)
