North Carolina Supreme Court Orders Removal of RFK Jr. from Ballot

Decision necessitates reprinting ballots, delays absentee voting; Michigan court reaches opposite conclusion

  • The North Carolina Supreme Court ruled 4-3 to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from the state's ballot, citing voter clarity and constitutional duty.
  • Kennedy's withdrawal has forced the state to reprint over 2.9 million absentee and in-person ballots, causing delays and additional costs.
  • Michigan's Supreme Court ruled against Kennedy's request to remove his name, maintaining his presence on the ballot despite his withdrawal.
  • The conflicting rulings in North Carolina and Michigan highlight the varied judicial interpretations and their impact on the election process.
  • Kennedy previously suspended his independent presidential campaign and endorsed Donald Trump, aiming to prevent vote splitting.
