North Carolina Certifies RFK Jr.'s Party, Blocks Cornel West's

State election board approves We the People Party for ballot access while rejecting Justice for All Party over signature concerns.

The election board voted 4-1 to recognize the We the People Party, supporting RFK Jr.'s presidential bid.
Justice for All Party, supporting Cornel West, was denied ballot access in a 3-2 vote, citing potential fraud in signature collection.
Board members were divided along party lines, with Democrats skeptical of the Justice for All petition process.
Republicans argued both parties met the signature requirements and should be approved.
Kennedy's party now has ballot access in states totaling 99 electoral votes, while West's campaign faces additional challenges.
