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 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.

    I don’t think running for elected office should require a team of high paid lawyers - president in our current system is unrealistic for any person off the street but part of the reason we have AOC today is because the election registration process is accessible to people who have limited resources but a lot of enthusiasm.

    Forms like this shouldn’t require the fine toothed comb.

      You could not have picked a worse example for your position.

      AOC crosses the Ts. She dots the Is. And she sure as shit DOES NOT SUBMIT THE WRONG FORM WHEN FILLING FOR AN ELECTION.

      These guys are no AOC.

      You don’t think this shit happens to people after they become president too? I’m sorry, if this was political dirty tricks and you can’t handle really basic political dirty tricks, you deserve what you get.
