Supreme Court Declines Green Party's Request to Reinstate Jill Stein on Nevada Ballot for November 5 Election

Sep 20, 2024, 02:38 PM

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined the Green Party's request for an emergency order to reinstate Jill Stein on Nevada's ballot for the upcoming November 5 presidential election. This decision upholds a Nevada Supreme Court ruling that found state officials directed the Green Party to use the wrong form, which was deemed an 'unfortunate mistake' but not a constitutional violation. The refusal to include Stein on the ballot could bolster Democrat Kamala Harris's position in the battleground state, which has 6 electoral votes. There were no noted dissents in the Supreme Court's decision.
