RFK Jr. is seeking to have his name removed from the ballot in North Carolina, where the race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is particularly tight according to polls
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has filed a lawsuit to have his name removed from the ballot in North Carolina, a week after he announced hi withdrawal from the presidential race and his endorsement of Donald Trump.
When Kennedy announced his withdrawal, he stated that he would leave his name on the ballot in safe Democrat and Republican states, but would remove his name from the ballot in swing states.
North Carolina is one state where the race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump looks to be particularly tight.
On Thursday, the North Carolina Elections Board denied a request by Kennedy to be removed from the ballot, voting 3-2 against him. The Board argued that, as nearly two million ballots have already been printed, it would cost significant amounts of money to reprint them ahead of the 6 September deadline for absentee ballots.
“When we talk about printing a ballot, we are not talking about… pressing ‘copy’ on a Xerox machine. This is a much more complex and layered process,” Board Executive Director Karen Brinson Bell said.
Kennedy’s lawsuit states that “with the November election looming and ballot deadlines fast-approaching, Kennedy has no choice but to turn to this Court for immediate relief.”
The lawsuit alleges that the Election Board has violated Kennedy’s right to speech and state election law.
