The Supreme Court denied an emergency appeal from Nevada’s Green Party to include Jill Stein on the ballot in the state.
This decision allows the ballot preparation and printing in Nevada to proceed without Stein or other Green Party candidates.
The big picture: Democrats claimed victory in this ballot challenge, preventing the Greens’ inclusion in Nevada’s historically tight statewide races.
- President Joe Biden narrowly outpaced former President Donald Trump by less than 35,000 votes in Nevada in 2020.
Driving the news: The Nevada Democratic Party sued to remove Stein from the ballot after the Green Party gathered enough signatures for her inclusion.
- Despite a lower court ruling in favor of Stein, the state Supreme Court found faults with the petition forms, leading to her exclusion from the ballot.
