Nevada presidential ballot excludes Green Party following Supreme Court rejection

The Supreme Court rejected a request by Green Party nominee Jill Stein to be included on the ballot in Nevada due to a paperwork dispute. State officials had already begun printing ballots without Stein, and changing them last minute could undermine the integrity of the election. Jay Sekulow, an ally of Donald Trump, represented the Green Party in the case. The Democrats sued to keep Stein off the ballot, arguing that an error in the petition language invalidated the signatures. Despite initial rejection, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled in favor of excluding Stein, stating it was not a federal constitutional violation. Sekulow argued that this decision violated the Green Party’s rights to equal protection under the law and due process. Stein and her running mate were described as being “wrongfully ripped from the ballot.” Third-party candidates like Stein can play a crucial role in swing states like Nevada, potentially affecting the outcome of the election. With ballots already being printed and sent to military voters, the Supreme Court’s decision ultimately bars Stein from the Nevada ballot.
