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.
And democrats applaud as an election becomes less democratic
It is not undemocratic to be barred from the ballot because your campaign did not bother reading the fine print on the paperwork to make sure it’s all correct. It’s not the level of attention to detail or responsibility I would want from a presidential administration either.
Ive yet to have anyone actually cite the forms and what specifically was overlooked. Like somewhere it just states this form not admissable for candidate qualification.
All of this is incredibly self serving arguments, you would be having quite an outrage if a democrat was barred from an election because of fine print technicality. Thats not what you actually care about, you only care that people you dont like suffered from it.
You didn’t look very hard. This took seconds:

Was it a fuckup by the Secretary of State or just a ratfuck? Yes. Does that mean the campaign shouldn’t have lacked the attention to detail to be able to avoid it? No. They didn’t bother checking to find out that everything was as it should be. And that is not who people should want running the country. If they get thrown off this easily, what will it be like when they’re negotiating things like treaties and trade agreements?
You’re the second person ive asked to cite the forms in question, who links to an article about the court case instead.
The forms, like the forms the green party allegedly received copies of that were incorrect, i am asking to see those forms.
Again. Seconds.

And this is the last time I’m doing your homework for you.
He doesn’t want to see the forms. He just wants to be right.
I guess they don’t have to click on the link if they don’t want.
Incidentally, the language in the affidavit makes it pretty clear what it’s for.
Why are you saying again like you found them the first time. So, this is the form the secretary of state handed out to a party asking for the form to enter an election
Do keep up.
And asking two people was easier than using a search engine?
I did search, and like these two people i was getting articles about the court case instead of the forms.
Hostility to citation just makes political discussion less informed.
Democrats applaud bc she is another Republican plant. They like doing that. If you want to vote for her, you still can. Democracy
No, you cant, most states including nevada do not allow write in votes.
Most states do and it sounds like you should worry about local more then federal if that’s the case.

Per the Republican caucus they didn’t allow write-ins in Nevada. Looking at your post, those people will not help you. You should be looking for an actual candidate in your state that has a chance.
Jill Stein is not the one. She is a Putin simp. Her goal is to disrupt the Democrats chance to win. I know it sucks (I live in NC) but you need local winners for a third party. Eventually that will lead to a national third party.
Republican caucus? This is nevada state law, not party convention rules. Im talking about democracy and freedom to vote for people. You can make arguments supporting voting for your candidate or why people shouldnt vote for another. But trying to win an election by outright forbidding the ability to vote for an opponent is, sitting eerily well with people.
Sounds like the secretary of the state fucked you. Not sure when they banned write-ins ( Every state should have it.)
I still stand by my main point, third parties need to put an effort in local elections to change the laws. You never hear about them during mid-terms. They only want the presidency and that will never happen.
Ill give you a hint, theyre banned by the same people for the same reason third parties get banned from participating in democracy.

Yall should be embarassed for having such anti-evidence attitudes. Its a core aspect of having informed political discussion.
