In July 2023, however, the Nevada Secretary of State’s office incorrectly provided the Green Party with the “ballot initiative” form, which lacks the sworn registration statement. The Nevada Supreme Court ultimately ruled against the Green Party, declaring that “an unfortunate mistake” does not rise to the level of a constitutional violation. The Nevada Green Party promptly asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block the state court’s decision, arguing that the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee to due process of law does not permit the Nevada to penalize a party for following incorrect instructions.
