RFK Jr. Sues to Remove Name from North Carolina Ballot

Kennedy seeks court intervention after election board denies request to withdraw from battleground state ballot.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his independent presidential campaign and endorsed Donald Trump in August.
He filed a lawsuit claiming the North Carolina election board's refusal to remove his name violates his free speech rights.
The board cited logistical and financial challenges, with 1.7 million ballots already printed.
Kennedy aims to avoid splitting the vote in key battleground states, potentially aiding the Democratic candidate.
Similar requests to remove his name have been denied in Michigan and Wisconsin but granted in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Nevada.
