Nevada Judge Allows Green Party Presidential Candidate, Creating Spoiler Opportunity

Aug 12, 2024, 11:59 PM

A Carson City judge has ruled in favor of the Nevada Green Party, allowing it to run a presidential candidate on the Nevada general election ballot. This decision comes after the Nevada Democratic Party filed a lawsuit in June challenging the validity of the Green Party's petition signatures and forms. The Green Party had submitted nearly three times the required number of signatures to qualify for the ballot. This marks the first time since 2008 that the Green Party will appear on the Nevada general election ballot, potentially creating a spoiler opportunity.
