Former Missouri Governor Jay Nixon has rebuked Democrats working against the No Labels Parties effort to secure a third party on state ballots.
Nixon was a very popular Democrat Governor in a state that moved steadily to right over the last 25 years.
"Nixon, a 67-year-old lawyer, is stepping back into national politics for the first time since leaving office in 2017 and will serve as No Labels' director of ballot integrity. He said in an interview that he was drawn to the role after learning that well-funded groups aligned with Democrats were working to stop No Labels from securing ballot access in key states.
He said that those seeking to block the group's right to appear on the presidential ballot are attacking a pillar of American democracy."
