The Supreme Court has rejected an emergency appeal from Nevada’s Green Party seeking to include presidential candidate Jill Stein on the ballot in the battleground state.

The court’s order Friday, without any noted dissents, allows ballot preparation and printing to proceed in Nevada without Stein and other Green Party candidates included.

The outcome is a victory for Democrats who had challenged the Greens’ inclusion on the ballot in a state with a history of extremely close statewide races. In 2020, President Joe Biden outpaced former President Donald Trump by fewer than 35,000 votes in the state.

        Ha ha. After being shown the forms your face saving argument changes. Now they were the wrong forms.

            You aren’t the arbiter of truth on the matter. You don’t need to see the forms. Stein is out and you can piss and moan about it all you like.

                Because everything is always “their” fault right? Secretary of state is corrupt, judge is corrupt… Can’t just be that someone that crawls out from under her rock once every 4 years has not used the last 4 years to setup a competent organisation.

                  Theres a lot of ignorance here. She doesnt show up once every four years, you assume that because you only hear about her once every four years. She’s not as active, understandably, on non-election years, but is still doing political work and promoting her party and giving talks.

                  Yes, the secretary of state gave them the wrong forms and guidance, and the courts are banning a political party from an election on a technicality against the spirit of the law.

                    So “they” did it… This lady is running for office of the president of the US. If she can’t even get this figured out… especially if she knows the evil Dems are out to sabotage her… how is she fit to run for president. It’s not as if the R’s or other parties will always have her best interests at heart either.

                    And how many other political positions does her party have obtained in local elections during the last 8 years?

      There are a miniscule number of presidential candidates running in a given year, so I assume that the UX on the process isn’t very optimized.
