The Nevada Democratic Party is suing to keep the Nevada Green Party off the 2024 ballot, claiming state Greens failed to collect enough valid signatures. The lawsuit was filed in the First Judicial Court of Nevada earlier this month.
Editorial note: The Nevada Green Party has collected enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot, according to Nevada election officials as of Tuesday. However, as of this article, the lawsuit by the Nevada Democratic Party is still pending, with a hearing scheduled for later this month.
The lawsuit, reported on by the Daily Indy this past Friday and dated June 10, seeks to invalidate the Green Party’s efforts to secure a spot on the state’s general election ballot later this year. It claims the Nevada Green Party failed to gather enough valid signatures to qualify for ballot access, arguing that many of the signatures were either gathered before state Greens filed the necessary documentation or were collected through altered affidavits on petition forms that changed the county of the petition circulator.
The Nevada Democratic Party cites a limited number of signatures it received through a public records request as the basis for its claims, although the Daily Indy notes that those did not include a review of signatures submitted in Clark and Washoe counties.
The leadership of the Nevada Green Party has since pushed back, asserting that the petition was submitted correctly and in compliance with the rules. Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has also criticized the lawsuit in a recent video, calling Nevada Democrats the “Anti-Democratic Party” and saying the lawsuit demonstrates the party’s inconsistency with its own claimed values.
According to a previous letter from the Nevada Secretary of State to county clerks earlier this month, the Nevada Green Party submitted 29,557 signatures to appear on the ballot, far exceeding the necessary 10,095 signatures across all four congressional districts needed to achieve ballot access.
The case now awaits further review by the Secretary of State’s office, which is currently reviewing the lawsuit and will determine if the Green Party can remain on the ballot for November.
What about “Democracy”?
They need to defend our democracy by crushing it at every opportunity
The only way that democrats can *win* is to rig the election.
This is an example of it, plain and simple.
lynch mobocracy raises its ugly head once more.
That's "Our Democracy™", not yours and certainly not the Green Party's.
Unity.
Oh, thanks!
Only dim phony signatures are allowed!
Since when do the Democrats care about valid signatures?
Note that the Democrats are in court in several states trying to keep Kennedy and West off ballots.
Republicans, OTOH, are not trying to keep the Constitution Party nominee or any other “right” candidates off the ballot.
“How Democrats defend democracy.”
One has to give them credit, they will literally do ANYTHING to win.
If the Green Party is on the ballot, how can we win ...? said every Democrat. It’s hard to honestly cheat...now with the Greens on the ballot, it’s almost impossible! 🤓
Proof NV is IN PLAY
So the Rats insist on strict scrutiny of signatures for ballot access, but none for mail in or drop box ballots for the general election in November. Isn’t that curious?
