The Supreme Court has rejected an emergency appeal from Nevada’s Green Party seeking to include presidential candidate Jill Stein on the ballot in the battleground state.

The court’s order Friday, without any noted dissents, allows ballot preparation and printing to proceed in Nevada without Stein and other Green Party candidates included.

The outcome is a victory for Democrats who had challenged the Greens’ inclusion on the ballot in a state with a history of extremely close statewide races. In 2020, President Joe Biden outpaced former President Donald Trump by fewer than 35,000 votes in the state.

    So “they” did it… This lady is running for office of the president of the US. If she can’t even get this figured out… especially if she knows the evil Dems are out to sabotage her… how is she fit to run for president. It’s not as if the R’s or other parties will always have her best interests at heart either.

    And how many other political positions does her party have obtained in local elections during the last 8 years?

      Yes, i explained them doing it. Its not a matter of figuring out, its fighting against the corruption of the party currently in power employing all the anti-competitive tactics they can. That only happens when they have enough support to win that fight. Free will exists and they cant force you to not support the side that is fighting to keep competition off the ballots. Only hope that people support democracy.
