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.

They were given the wrong forms when they requested the correct ones - the two forms are nearly indistinguishable and neither the issuer nor collector noticed the mistake at the time.
This was a really minor bureaucratic screw up and denying the green party a place on the ballot because of the mistake is just a bad look.
Good thing we don’t expect a president and their staff to be able to pay attention to detail.
Given the news currently brewing in Georgia we can expect some similar bureaucratic bullshit to be used against the Harris campaign - it’ll be bullshit just like this is bullshit.
You know these people have lawyers, right? It’s literally a lawyer’s job to go over these documents with a fine-toothed comb specifically due to these sort of things.
I don’t think running for elected office should require a team of high paid lawyers - president in our current system is unrealistic for any person off the street but part of the reason we have AOC today is because the election registration process is accessible to people who have limited resources but a lot of enthusiasm.
Forms like this shouldn’t require the fine toothed comb.

You don’t think this shit happens to people after they become president too? I’m sorry, if this was political dirty tricks and you can’t handle really basic political dirty tricks, you deserve what you get.
Most voters don’t have an attorney checking their mail-in ballot.
Yes? And? This is about a campaign, not the people who vote for them. Maybe you want a president who can be tricked by something this easy, but I’d say most people would want a president who can avoid such simple pitfalls.

Every legal form has a form number. Anyone practicing law should know what number they require and verify if it’s incorrect. Her legal team shit the bed
