The North Carolina Democratic Party has challenged the state election board’s decision last week to recognize a new political party that will put Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the state’s presidential ballots. The complaint filed Thursday in state court seeks to reverse the board’s action that made “We The People” an official party.
RALEIGH. N.C. — The North Carolina Democratic Party has challenged the state election board’s recent decision to recognize a new political party that will putin the presidential battleground state. Board staff last week said that supporters of We The People turned in enough valid signatures from registered and qualified voters to exceed the petition threshold in state law.
Petition instructions for We The People stated the party’s purpose was to put Kennedy on the ballot, the complaint contends. According to the Democratic Party’s lawyers, that’s not a permissible purpose under state law, and Kennedy needed to follow the rules for independent candidates.Trump turns his full focus on Harris at his first rally since Biden’s exit from the 2024 raceThe board voted 4-1 in favor of recognition.
The Democratic Party asked that a judge act by Aug. 16 to issue a preliminary injunction preventing printed ballots for the fall to contain We The People candidates.
