ACLJ Makes Emergency U.S. Supreme Court Filing to Defend the Right to Vote

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) — The American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ) is fighting back against lawfare – the weaponization of the legal system against political opponents – asking the United States Supreme Court to protect Americans’ right to vote in a case out of Nevada. Earlier this year, the ACLJ unanimously won an intense legal battle representing the Colorado Republican Party against the Trump ballot ban.

On the last day to file a legal challenge, the Nevada State Democratic Party sued to block the Nevada Green Party’s candidate, Jill Stein, from appearing on Nevada’s general election ballot. ​ The Supreme Court of Nevada waited until the day of Nevada’s deadline to begin printing ballots to enter its order removing the Green Party from the ballot – making any effort to seek U.S. Supreme Court review extraordinarily difficult.

The ACLJ has just filed an Emergency Application to Vacate Orders of the Supreme Court of Nevada and District Court of Nevada at the U.S. Supreme Court, alongside the Center for Competitive Democracy and More Voter Choice Fund, urging the high Court to intervene and prevent Nevada from printing more ballots without all the qualified candidates’ names until the Court has the opportunity to fully hear, and ultimately decide, the case.

“What happened in Nevada is sickening and should concern all Constitution-loving Americans, regardless of party or political beliefs,” says Jordan Sekulow, Executive Director at ACLJ. “It was a blatant attempt to clear the field for Kamala Harris’ campaign. For the party that keeps complaining about supposed threats to democracy, nothing could be a bigger threat to democracy than taking away the right of Americans to vote for the candidate of their choice.”
