NO
The forms filed by the Nevada Green Party to qualify for the presidential ballot were the ones designated for minor political parties.
Qualifying for the ballot as a minor political party in Nevada requires the collection of several thousand signatures of registered voters, along with affidavits from anyone gathering signatures.
As part of the signature-gathering process, the party used the form recommended by the state, which included places to note the name of the minor party and the addresses of signees. Jill Stein, the Green Party’s presidential candidate, was not mentioned on the forms.
However, the affidavit forms used by the party were intended for initiative petitions, not minor parties, which omits a sentence stating the circulator believes all signees were registered voters in the county they reside.
This is one of the reasons the Nevada Supreme Court barred the party from appearing on the ballot.
