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.

    And no one in the Green Party looked at the forms to make sure they had the right ones? How many people handled those forms without noticing they were wrong? Are they too used to Cyrillic that it’s hard to read English forms?

      They did make sure, by seeking guidance from the person that runs the election.

        Having read the forms necessary to get a candidate or initiative on the ballot, I can tell you they are not hard to tell apart if you actually read them. A campaign that is serious about their stated goals would do the basic work of reading the form.

            Apologies, but I was reading them in person so I don’t have links to them. Maybe try on the website for the secretary of state in Nevada?
