NextImg:No Labels fuels concerns from Democrats as it registers more than 15,000 voters in Arizona

The centrist group No Labels has registered more than 15,000 people in Arizona, growing Democratic fears of a third-party presidential campaign that will take votes away from President Joe Biden.

“These are unprecedented times,” said Benjamin Chavis, No Labels national co-chairman. “Never before has such a large number of Americans expressed their concerns and expressed their views and their aspirations for more choices.”

No Labels is getting on the ballot in individual states, threatening a bipartisan presidential ticket in 2024. Among those states are Arizona, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, South Dakota, and Utah.

The Arizona Democratic Party attempted to block the group’s status as a political party, arguing in a lawsuit over the summer the group had faulty paperwork. However, the Democrats lost the suit in court and dropped the case, with Secretary of State Adrian Fontes ensuring No Labels is recognized as a political party. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Katherine Cooper issued the decision in August.

In a tight race, former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election to Biden in Arizona by just more than 10,000 votes. A No Labels presidential campaign could tip the scale in Trump's favor by siphoning off votes from Biden, causing some critics to question how its nomination is affected by donors. Arizona Democrats have been pushing Fontes to force No Labels to disclose its donors, although it isn't required to.

So far, No Label has declined to share donor disclosures with the public, arguing the group wants to protect the privacy and safety of individual donors.

“We know how the game is played these days, which is (if) people don’t like your organization, what’s the easiest way to destroy it? Well, go find the donor list and go start intimidating them in their place of work and harassing them on social media,” Ryan Clancy, No Labels’ chief strategist, told Politico in June.

Despite preparations for a third-party bid, No Labels has consistently said it will only put up a candidate if there’s a path to victory, arguing it would want a ticket that appeals to a wide variety of voters, reaching both sides of the political spectrum.
