Paperwork Mix-Up by Democrat Leads to Third Party Candidate Being Left off Ballot in Swing State
The Supreme Court upheld the Nevada Supreme Court’s ruling Friday blocking Green Party candidate Jill Stein from appearing on the state’s ballot for the 2024 presidential election.
The Democratic Party originally sued to remove the Green Party from the presidential ballot for paperwork violations. They alleged that the Green Party included inappropriate language on its signature ballot petition making the signatures on that document void. . .
“The anti-democratic party has just gone on the attack,” Stein said. “The Green Party in Nevada and volunteers in Nevada collected 30,000 signatures, incredible, 30,000 signatures in Nevada, three times the number of signatures that’s required in the state.”
BREAKING: The Democrats are suing us in Nevada. The party of “saving democracy” wants to kick us off the ballot to keep voters like you from having a choice.

A state court ruled against the Democratic Party originally. The case then went to the Nevada Supreme Court, which found that the Nevada secretary of state’s office sent the Green Party the wrong paperwork, calling it “an unfortunate mistake.” The court also ruled that removing Stein’s name due to the error would not violate the Constitution.
