Election officials seek urgent resolution as absentee ballots with Kennedy's name are already being sent to voters.
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his presidential campaign in August and endorsed former President Donald Trump.
- Kennedy has filed lawsuits in multiple states, including Wisconsin, to remove his name from the ballot.
- A Dane County judge ruled that state law requires candidates to remain on the ballot unless they die.
- The Wisconsin Election Commission has asked the state Supreme Court to expedite the case due to the ongoing distribution of absentee ballots.
- Local officials express concerns about the logistical and financial challenges of reprinting ballots or using stickers to cover Kennedy's name.
