Supreme Court Denies Green Party Appeal in Nevada

The U.S. Supreme Court has denied the Nevada Green Party's request to include its presidential candidate, Jill Stein, on the 2024 ballot, following a decision by the Nevada Supreme Court which ruled that the party used an incorrect form to gather signatures. This ruling has sparked concerns among Green Party members who argue it violates their due process rights under the U.S. Constitution. The Nevada Secretary of State's office mistakenly provided the Green Party with a 'ballot initiative' form instead of the required minor party access form, leading to the invalidation of signatures. Democratic state officials supported the ruling, warning that adding the Green Party to the ballot at this stage would cause voter confusion due to the imminent mailing of ballots. The Green Party's legal team contended that the ruling represented a grave constitutional violation. The Supreme Court's decision effectively prevents the Green Party from competing in the crucial swing state of Nevada ahead of the November 5 election.
