On April 4, Michael Schaefer, who is running for Congress in Nevada’s Democratic primary this year, sued to overturn the Nevada law that says candidates should be listed in alphabetical order on ballots. The lawsuit argues that the U.S. Constitution requires that all candidates be given an equal chance to be listed first on the ballot. If the lawsuit succeeds, the state could either use random methods to determine ballot order, or rotate names in different parts of the districts or the state as a whole. The case is Schaefer v Cegavske, 2:16cv-4.

The Los Angeles Daily News has this op-ed, advocating that the Commission on Presidential Debates ease the requirements for entry into the general election presidential debates.

The Libertarian Party was certified for the ballot on March 21, 2016, and already it has 344 registrants, as of April 7. The state now lists the Libertarian Party on voter registration forms. However, it is overwhelmingly likely that there are many old versions of the form in post offices, fire houses, and other places which make the forms available.
