Most states do and it sounds like you should worry about local more then federal if that's the case.

Per the Republican caucus they didn't allow write-ins in Nevada. Looking at your post, those people will not help you. You should be looking for an actual candidate in your state that has a chance.
Jill Stein is not the one. She is a Putin simp. Her goal is to disrupt the Democrats chance to win. I know it sucks (I live in NC) but you need local winners for a third party. Eventually that will lead to a national third party.
Republican caucus? This is nevada state law, not party convention rules. Im talking about democracy and freedom to vote for people. You can make arguments supporting voting for your candidate or why people shouldnt vote for another. But trying to win an election by outright forbidding the ability to vote for an opponent is, sitting eerily well with people.
Sounds like the secretary of the state fucked you. Not sure when they banned write-ins ( Every state should have it.)
I still stand by my main point, third parties need to put an effort in local elections to change the laws. You never hear about them during mid-terms. They only want the presidency and that will never happen.
Ill give you a hint, theyre banned by the same people for the same reason third parties get banned from participating in democracy.
Jill Stein filled out the wrong paper work and never corrected it. It makes her seem incompetent.
Dems, rightfully, challenged that she miss the deadline and had the wrong paperwork. See Florida for why these is right. They routinely have candidates of the same name to confuse people. Always targeted at the Democratic party. They don't want to win, they just want to make sure Democrats lose.
Jill Stein is looking for special treatment. She wants to be apart of everything but not do the minimal requirements. Is the system rigged? Yes, look at Bernie Sanders for example. He came up through the local system as an independent. Built a base and then went national where he is still an independent. He switched to Democrat for the president bid and got fucked over. However, he built a viable third party in Vermont and he is still and independent today. Stein is the new Tulsi Gabbard but with less support.
She was given the wrong paperwork and not allowed to correct it, by democrats. Being able to participate in an election isnt special treatment. Bernie is democrat in practice. Caucuses with them, drops out and endorses their candidates, fundraises with them.
Democrats have a long pattern of specifically targeting third party candidates with legal challenges

Yall should be embarassed for having such anti-evidence attitudes. Its a core aspect of having informed political discussion.
