U.S. District Court Judge Jennifer Dorsey will hold a hearing in Nevada Green Party v Cegavske, 2:16c-1951, on Wednesday, August 31, at 2 p.m. The courthouse is in Las Vegas, room 6D. The issue is the June 3 petition deadline for newly-qualifying parties. The former June 10 deadline was enjoined in 1992 in Fulani v Lau, and the legislature moved the deadline to July. But then years later it was moved to April. Then in 2015 it was moved to early June.

The Green Party thought it had complied with the June 3 deadline, but was told it didn’t have enough valid signatures. The party then collected over 1,000 additional signatures, but they were refused because they were beyond the deadline.
