Jill was determined to be 600 signatures too short for Nevada, but took her case to court recently:
The Green Party went to the Lloyd George Federal Courthouse today to persuade Judge Jennifer Dorsey to rule their candidate has a place on Nevada’s November ballot.
“This case is about having the voters put who they want to vote for on the ballot,” Tony Nasser, the Green Party’s attorney, told News 3 outside the courthouse. “It’s not about the state telling voters this is your choices. Here’s what you get to pick from.”
To qualify, the Green Party needed to submit 5,431 verified signatures. In fact, the party says, it submitted approximately 8,600, but thousands were disqualified in Clark County, many because they lived outside the county. As a result, the Green Party fell 647 signatures short of what was necessary.
The Green Party turned to federal court, arguing that the deadline imposed by the Secretary of State’s office was unconstitutional and that it should be ordered to accept the additional signatures the party presented.
