Supreme Court rules Jill Stein will stay off Nevada ballot

Green Party candidate Jill Stein, even though she has virtually zero chance of making it into office at this point, continues to fight to have her name included on several states' ballots.

According to NBC News, the latest fight for ballot inclusion is happening in Nevada, where Stein and her campaign were previously rejected by the state's high court to have her name included on the ballot after they claim it was taken off due to a paperwork issue.

This week, the U.S. Supreme Court got involved in the case and ultimately upheld the decision rendered by the Nevada Supreme Court.

NBC News noted:

State officials had told the court that ballots that do not feature Stein and her running mate, Butch Ware, are already being printed ahead of the Nov. 5 election. Ballots must be sent to overseas military voters by Saturday, with at least one county having already done so.

In court papers, Attorney General Aaron Ford wrote that argued that changing the ballot at this point would "would undermine the integrity of Nevada’s election."

Unfortunately for former President Donald Trump, Stein won't be on the ballot. Green Party candidates typically take a chunk of Democratic voters in major elections.

The Green Party was represented in the case by Trump ally and lawyer Jay Sekulow.

Nevada will undoubtedly be a close call either way, which is why Democrats worked overtime, legally speaking, to ensure that Stein will not appear on the November ballot, as they need to protect every possible vote they can.

The dispute on whether or not Stein would be included on the ballot came from a situation where the state's secretar of state's office reportedly gave incorrect information on what Stein's campaign would include on the petition she needed for signatures.

NBC News added:

But, as both sides conceded, the secretary of state’s office gave the party incorrect information, which led to that language’s appearing on the petition.

The state Democratic Party then sued, saying Stein should not be included on the ballot because of the error and arguing that all of the signatures were invalid.

The claim by Democrats was originally rejected by a state judge, but the Nevada Supreme Court reversed the decision.

Social media users and Stein's supporters expressed their opinions on the final outcome.

"Is there any way to fight this? This can’t stand," one X user wrote.
