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.
Same time next Presidential election, Jill?
I mean she could use the time between to build local support for the Green Party in lots of places. I guess that isn’t what she’s after.
More’s the pity, she can’t run for president of Russia either.
while normally I’d be upset if they were running somebody with some kind of real intent to push real issues, its clear Stein is mostly isnt interested in pushing anything but conspiracy theories and russian appeasement.
But if we don’t vote 3rd party then democrats will never do the exact things I want, or some shit
I’ll be voting solid blue regardless, but the “exact things I want” in regards to Democrats is not helping a genocide, because I thought that was a bar even they could pass.
I’m not surprised they failed even that, but it does radicalize me further and solidify my position that all liberals that call themselves leftists out of rampant ignorance can fuck off forever.
Yes, that latter point does describe how well you have summarized other people’s arguments. Good luck to you on that one.
What “conspiracy theories”? Do you think that the genocide in Gaza is a conspiracy theory?
people forget about her vaccine skepticism, which is sad in a post covid world. There’s a reason she didnt run in 2020
Stein is pro-vaccine, as she has stated in numerous interviews. If she had won in 2016, we would’ve had a medical doctor in the White House during a pandemic, and hundreds of thousands of lives could’ve been saved.
Oh dear, that’s going to make her path to an electoral college victory harder, isn’t it.
She has 49 other states she can fail to win in…
but still siphon enough votes to hand trump the whitehouse
I feel like she isn’t on the ballot in a large number of states. I feel like basic research would reveal this fact. I feel like she isn’t going to siphon many votes away from Harris. I know for sure that people want to be able to blame her if Harris loses.
She doesnt need to pull that many votes from the Dems, the race is on a knife edge pretty much everywhere.
She’s also on the ballot in 39 states, which includes all of the battle ground states except nevada
Why can’t these candidates file proper forms? What the hell is so difficult about that?
There are a miniscule number of presidential candidates running in a given year, so I assume that the UX on the process isn’t very optimized.
They were given the wrong forms by the secretary of state. Its obvious sabotage.
Ha ha. After being shown the forms your face saving argument changes. Now they were the wrong forms.
I never said they werent and still no one has been able to show them to me
