The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Friday to restore the Green Party to the Nevada ballot, cementing a bid by Democrats to keep the party and its presidential candidate Jill Stein from competing in this battleground state in the Nov.

The US Supreme Court refused to order Nevada officials to include Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein on the November ballot, buttressing Democrat Kamala Harris in a potentially pivotal state.

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected an emergency request to place Green Party candidate Jill Stein on the presidential ballot in a state where the race between the major candidates is expected to be razor-thin close.
