Nevada Supreme Court Bars Green Party from Ballot
News summary

The Nevada Supreme Court ruled 5-2 that the Green Party's petition to qualify for the presidential ballot was invalid due to incorrect affidavit language, rendering their candidate Jill Stein ineligible for the November election. This decision followed a lawsuit initiated by the Nevada Democratic Party, and it reverses a lower court ruling that had previously allowed the Green Party onto the ballot. Dissenting justices criticized the ruling as an injustice linked to an 'egregious error' by the Secretary of State's office, which provided the incorrect affidavit sample. As a result, only Democrat Kamala Harris, Republican Donald Trump, and Libertarian Chase Oliver will appear on the ballot, following independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s withdrawal from the race. The ruling underscores ongoing tensions between Democrats and the Green Party, as Democrats fear left-leaning voters may be swayed by alternative candidates. The Green Party has expressed disappointment over the ruling and indicated they may abstain from voting in the upcoming election.
