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?

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 28 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 18 points 6 hours ago

And God forbid they spend any money on local elections where they can affect things like I don't know actual green party issues.

The Winter Candidate.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 37 points 8 hours ago

More's the pity, she can't run for president of Russia either.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 31 points 8 hours ago (11 children)

Why can’t these candidates file proper forms? What the hell is so difficult about that?

[–] tal@lemmy.today 13 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 26 points 7 hours ago

but she's done this like 3 times already.

Oh dear, that’s going to make her path to an electoral college victory harder, isn’t it.

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 5 points 3 hours ago

She has 49 other states she can fail to win in...

but still siphon enough votes to hand trump the whitehouse

[–] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 hours ago

Not realistically, no. It's just about the same amount of difficulty.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

270 to win!

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 16 points 8 hours ago (43 children)

The petition forms were faulty. Be nice if we were told what was wrong with them

Again.... I might just go back too being a Dem. I tried 3rd party but, this stuff keeps happing. I like the ideals just no was too do it from a third party way for the time being. Gotta change from with in I guess.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 hours ago

Third parties only seem interested in the presidency. Instead the should work on local elections instead. Build up to federal seats but that is not their goal. They only want to spoil one party nowadays.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 31 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Not from within, from underneath. You effect change at the lower levels. Political change comes from the ground up. That's why Jill Stein is so frustrating cuz she takes all the money and attention that could be spent somewhere useful and instead spends it on a boondoggle for her own personal gain.

[–] vzq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

This. The Brits have a first past the post system. Greens now are winning mayorships and parliament seats and making deals with labor not to split the vote in their favor because they have been building local support for decades.

They are a force in their districts, so they get elected to office in their districts. Do that to a few dozen districts and you can meaningfully affect the balance of power in Westminster. Then you start getting into coalitions and supplying ministers.

You can’t just wake up once every four years and hope to be anything but a spoiler candidate.

The two party system is incredibly frustrating. There is also a feeling of helplessness because the path to change is unclear. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans truly want more competition

I kind of wish ap would include things like this:

https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/092024zr_h3cj.pdf

In this case it's almost nothing, but sometimes it's nice to have for the longer documents. I'd also like a link to the original decision they were appealing.

More good news on a Friday.
