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.

      I’m aware, but it’s for bureaucratic reasons and has nothing to do with everyone who is celebrating by posting the pictures of her dining with Putin. I think this particular route to disqualification is rather silly and likely to be a abused by bad actors in the future… so the democrats suing to keep her off the ballot is bad for PR, functionally accomplishes nothing in view of the wider election, and may come back to bite them. It’s really disappointing they picked up this fight.
