Judge Rejects RFK Jr.’s Attempt to Withdraw From Michigan Ballot
Michigan Court of Claims Judge Christopher P. Yates: “Elections are not just games, and the Secretary of State (SOS) is not obligated to honor the whims of candidates for public office.”
A Michigan judge rejected RFK Jr.’s request to remove his name from the Michigan ballot, citing insufficient legal grounds since RFK Jr. met the state’s requirements to be listed as a candidate. Kennedy, who suspended his campaign on August 23rd, had argued that staying on the ballot would mislead voters and undermine election integrity.
It’s ironic because Kennedy claimed he dropped out due to Democrats trying to silence him, but now that he’s endorsed Trump, they seem eager to keep him on the ballot. Despite Kennedy’s request, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson refused to remove his name.
His attorney, Eric Esshaki, noted that Kennedy had given adequate notice by August 30 for removal and pushed for a swift resolution, especially with absentee ballots set to be mailed soon.
Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) “acted well within the bounds of the law” when her office denied a last-minute attempt by the third-party candidate to remove himself from the ballot, Michigan Court of Claims Judge Christopher P. Yates wrote in a three-page opinion.
“Elections are not just games, and the Secretary of State (SOS) is not obligated to honor the whims of candidates for public office,” Yates wrote, adding that state law says third parties can’t switch their candidates after the state’s primary election in August.

This is Michigan's Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson
She's refusing to remove RFK Jr. from the ballot after he suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump
She's also the woman that sought to remove Cornel West — who hurts Kamala — from the ballot

What about all the ballots completed on Sundowner for the election?
That . . . is (D)ifferent.
fighting to keep Trump off the ballot and denying a “traitor” the desire to get off the ballot while installing a candidate no one voted for on the ballot.
Okay.
How can you force someone to run for office against their will?
“…is not obligated to honor the whims of candidates for public office.”
Except when that person is No. Longer. A. Candidate.
These nitwits need to be curb stomped (politically speaking, of course)
“adding that state law says third parties can’t switch their candidates after the state’s primary election in August.”
Note that. Third parties.
There’s always a Torricelli Exception available to the Uniparty. Always.
I’m of the opinion that the laws dealing with our elections are being routinely flouted in order to give advantage to a particular political party.
I’m also of the opinion that if we don’t put a stop to it there won’t be much need to hold elections.
Further, I am also of the opinion that punishment for election fraud and interference is *much* too light.
For instance, those gentlemen putting up paper to conceal tabulation during the 2020 election should have received 20 years at hard labor. If you conspire to defraud by electronic means (you know what I mean) I think the punishment should be death?
Why? Because that kind of activity deprived millions of their liberty by nullifying their vote.
There seems to be no good reason to cover up counting votes like the Democrats did that night.
Sadly this only stops when there are more people with a vested interest in enforcing laws than there are to turning a blind eye.
Look at that photograph again. RFK Jr. is Blacker than Obama. Now that he has endorsed Trump, he should change his face color to Orange.
so what!!
people are going to vote for who they want to
pro americans for trump
commiunistlovingnazighouls for dems
It’s important because believe theye are those who will vote for JFK instead of Trump and Democrats are figuring that this number is big enough to move things in their favour.
Hence why they’ve moved heaven and earth to remove people from the ballot that could hurt Kamala’s chances in the election.
RFK, Jr. wants off the ballot in Michigan, but not in other states.

I think we could agree this reeks of gamesmanship.
If RFK, Jr. wanted off the ballot in all states, that would be a different matter.
RFK, Jr is a senior now.
