RFK Jr. Wins Appeal to Remove Name From Ballot in North Carolina

RFK Jr. has been fighting to remove his name from the ballot in many states. Democrats have been doing everything they can to keep him on in the battleground states.

North Carolina State’s Board of Elections refused RFK Jr.’s request along party lines, denying his removal due to the cost of reprinting ballots already set to be mailed out to voters.

RFK Jr. asked the courts to remove his name. However, the judge ruled against him, stating that the harm to the electoral process would be greater if ballots were delayed or reprinted.

AP:

“Wake County Superior Court Judge Rebecca Holt denied the temporary restraining order sought by Kennedy to prevent county elections boards from distributing ballots affixed with his name and requiring it to be removed. State law directs the first absentee ballots for the Nov. 5 elections be mailed to requesters starting Friday. A Kennedy attorney said the decision would be appealed and Holt gave him 24 hours, ordering election officials not to send out ballots before noon Friday.

The North Carolina Court of Appeals has ordered the state to remove RFK Jr.’s name from absentee ballots before sending them out.

For reference he was removed from Georgia as well.
