The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to reinstate Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein on Nevada's ballot for the upcoming November election. The decision leaves in place a ruling by Nevada's Supreme Court, which found that state officials had directed the Green Party to use the wrong form, an error deemed an 'unfortunate mistake' but not a constitutional violation. This ruling is seen as beneficial to Democrat Kamala Harris in the battleground state, which holds 6 electoral votes. There were no noted dissents in the Supreme Court's decision. The attempt to get Stein on the ballot was spearheaded by a Trump-linked lawyer.
