Kennedy sued to have his name removed after suspending his campaign and endorsing Donald Trump.
By Gary D. Robinson, Associated PressRobert F. Kennedy Jr., who earlier in the day suspended his independent campaign for the White House and endorsed Donald Trump, shakes his hand at a campaign rally in Glendale, Ariz., Aug. 23, 2024.
State law otherwise required the first absentee ballots to be mailed or transmitted to those already asking for them no later than 60 days before the general election, making Friday the deadline. The process of reprinting and assembling ballot packages likely would take more than two weeks, state attorneys have said. The ruling could be appealed.
A favorable outcome for Kennedy could assist Trump’s efforts to win the presidential battleground of North Carolina. Trump won the state’s electoral votes by just 1.3 percentage points over Democrat Joe Biden in 2020. It had taken several weeks for elections workers to assemble the mailed packages to voters, including the printing of ballots, return envelopes and instructions. Ballots were just finalized a couple of weeks ago. There are over 2,300 ballot styles across the state — depending on the races — and tabulators must be coded to align with where candidates land on the ballot.
In Michigan, its intermediate-level Court of Appeals ruled Friday that Kennedy should be removed from the ballot, reversing a decision made earlier this week by a lower court judge.
