Green Party Jill stein won't appear on Nevada ballot

Source: Las Vegas review journal

federal judge has denied a request by the Nevada Green Party and its presidential candidate, Jill Stein, to gain access to the state’s Nov. 8 general election ballot.

U.S. District Judge Jennifer Dorsey said in a ruling dated Thursday that the Green Party waited until less than two weeks before the deadline to start collecting signatures to qualify to place candidates on Nevada’s 2016 ballot. When the party’s June 3 petition came up 647 signatures short after the verification process was completed, the complaint was filed seeking to overturn a decision by Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske rejecting ballot access.

I wouldn't rely on her to make it to Concord from her house without issue (she lives in Lexington).

This is a demonstration of her unseriousness.

As you get older, if you're not a complete fool, you begin to value competence over vague inspiration.

17 year old me would have been enthralled with someone like Jill Stein. 30 year old me, however, is extremely unimpressed.

know that when you collect signatures to be on a ballot, you ALWAYS collect double what you need, just so you clear the required # after the verification process is done.

so much about politics! I only quit so I could share my experience and wisdom with everyone else by running for governor! And in my last Presidential campaign, running against the top 1%, I got 0.36% of the 2012 vote! My 2016 dream is to get 1% of the vote!"

Nevada looks like it may be close. Without that idiot Stein on the ballot, Hillary should be able to add NV to her loooong win column!

Who is funding her? How can afford those expensive ads? She is being paid by someone to take votes away from Hillary. It is so obvious.
