Supreme Court on September 20 Keeps Green Party's Jill Stein Off Nevada Ballot

Sep 20, 2024, 02:17 PM

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to reinstate Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein on Nevada's ballot for the November election. This decision, made on September 20, upholds a Nevada Supreme Court ruling that found state officials directed the party to use the wrong form, which was deemed an 'unfortunate mistake' but not a constitutional violation. The ruling is seen as a significant win for Democrats, particularly Vice President Kamala Harris, as Nevada is considered a pivotal battleground state. The emergency application was rejected with no noted dissents.
