RFK Jr. wins appeals to have his name REMOVED from state ballots in North Carolina
By Belle Carter // Sep 16, 2024

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has won an appeal for the removal of his name from the ballot in North Carolina ahead of the November elections.

The environmental lawyer and scion of the Kennedy family requested that his name be struck off from the ballots in North Carolina after suspending his own presidential campaign and endorsing former President Donald Trump.

Election officials in the Tar Heel state were ordered by the North Carolina Supreme Court in a 4-3 decision to remove RFK Jr. and his running mate Nicole Shanahan from the ballot. The Sept. 9 ruling prompted the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) to put absentee voting on hold in compliance with the order. Both Kennedy and Shanahan were named as nominees of the We The People party in North Carolina.

The state law deadline to begin absentee voting was set last week but with the court decision, revised ballots will be printed and delivered to the 146,603 voters, including more than 12,900 military and overseas voters who have requested an absentee ballot as soon as they are available, which is expected to occur in the next couple weeks.

"We will continue to consult with counties and ballot vendors to determine the feasible start date for distributing absentee ballots statewide, mindful of the goal to meet the 45-day federal deadline," said Karen Brinson Bell, NCSBE executive director. "This decision imposes a tremendous hardship on our county boards, at an extremely busy time. But our election officials are professionals, and I have no doubt we will rise to the challenge."

Following the Sept. 9 decision, the NCSBE later issued a memo ordering officials not to destroy the current ballots. According to the Pulse, this suggests the board's intent to appeal the court ruling.

Wisconsin judge, Michigan Supreme Court reject RFK Jr.'s appeal to be excluded from state ballots

While Kennedy secured victories in North Carolina, it wasn't the case in Wisconsin and Michigan.

A judge in the Badger State rejected his appeal to be excluded from the ballots, noting that a full court hearing must be held before his name might be removed. Wisconsin law states that "any person who files nomination papers and qualifies to appear on the ballot may not decline nomination."

Meanwhile, at the Wolverine State, the Supreme Court also ruled that Kennedy's name would remain on the state's ballot. The court vacated the state Appeals Court ruling, concluding that he did not show "an entitlement to this extraordinary relief."

Since he suspended his White House campaign in August as an independent candidate, Kennedy has been fighting to take his name off the ballot in key swing states. It has already been determined that his name will not appear on ballots in Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania, three other potentially pivotal swing states.
