Supreme Court Declines Emergency Order to Reinstate Jill Stein on Nevada Ballot

Sep 20, 2024, 02:29 PM

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to reinstate Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein on the Nevada ballot for the November 2024 election. The decision leaves in place a Nevada Supreme Court ruling that found state officials directed the party to use the wrong form, which was considered an unfortunate mistake but not a constitutional violation. This ruling is seen as a boost for Democrat Kamala Harris in the battleground state, as it prevents Stein from potentially siphoning votes. There were no noted dissents in the Supreme Court's decision. The Green Party had requested an emergency order for reinstatement.
