The Nevada Democratic Party is seeking to invalidate the Green Party’s effort to land on the state’s November ballot, arguing it did not gather enough valid signatures to gain ballot access.

The Green Party has not been on a Nevada general election ballot since 2008, when its candidate received around 1,400 votes. Including a qualified minor party on the ballot — one potentially able to pull dissatisfied left-leaning voters away from the Democratic Party — could have major impacts on the presidential race in Nevada, where President Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump in 2020 by only about 33,000 votes out of more than a million cast.

The Green Party gathered nearly 30,000 petition signatures to land on the general election ballot, well more than the required amount of 10,095 signatures, which must be split evenly across Nevada’s four congressional districts. The party announced Monday that “as of this moment, the Nevada Green Party is on the Ballot.” The party has not submitted a candidate yet for the November ballot, but the party’s former presidential candidate Jill Stein is running again this year. Stein called the lawsuit “outrageous” in a video posted to her campaign website.

Lawyers representing the Nevada Democratic Party filed public records requests to review the Green Party’s submitted signatures and petition, but the lawsuit said they had only received a handful of signatures and no copies of the petition.

“We have filed this challenge to preserve our rights to inspect the petitions consistent with Nevada state law,” Hilary Barrett, the executive director of the Nevada Democratic Party, said in a statement.

    Scrolled the headlines. Not one backs your claim. One last time, you got any actual evidence, or just “google it”?

      I provided with you the means to read several articles and you read none of them. You’re the horse that stands next to the river and dies of thirst; shortly after shitting into the river.

        Sorry bro, that doesnt fly.

        “Do your research” is republican bullshit.

        You have proof, post it, directly. Its not a game of hide and seek. If you are so confident it exists, provide a direct link and stop playing games about it like a right winger.

            I’m expecting you to back up your claims. You know, like a normal person does when they do such.

            You spent more time bitching and moaning about having to back up your claims, and finding nebulous links and basically screaming “DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH” than you would have spent providing verifiable proof of them… If you had the proof you were claiming you had to back up your statement.

            So you have no problem with effort. You just have a problem with telling the truth and arguing in good faith, which fits well with your use of right wing tactics.

        Not one of those articles claims she got Russian financing. So, I guess you’re just making this up.

          You wouldn’t know; you did not read them.

            Don’t need to, articles about Russian financing will say they are about Russian financing.

            Are you talking about botfarms perhaps?
