New Nevada Voter Registration Data

On February 1, the Nevada Secretary of State put up new voter registration data. See it here. The website does not show the number of active registered Greens, but the Secretary of State’s office says there are 2,274.

The percentages are: Democratic 36.43%; Republican 32.05%; Independent American 4.57%; Libertarian .98%; Green .13%; independent and miscellaneous 25.85%.

The percentages in September 2020 were: Democratic 37.57%; Republican 32.50%; Independent American 4.44%; Libertarian .98%; Green .09%; independent and miscellaneous 24.42%.

It is somewhat surprising that the Green Party registration went from 1,578 in September 2020, to 2,274 currently. The Green Party has not been on the ballot in Nevada since 2010.

Rocky De La Fuente Files Response in U.S. Supreme Court in Presidential Primary Ballot Access Case

On January 26, Rocky De La Fuente filed this response in the U.S. Supreme Court in De La Fuente v Simon, 20-612. The issue is the state law that gives political parties complete control over which candidates may appear on their presidential primary ballots. The Minnesota Republican Party in 2020 kept all candidates except President Donald Trump off its presidential primary ballot.

The Supreme Court will consider whether to hear this case at its conference of February 19.
