A divided North Carolina election board has blocked for now the official party recognition of political groups that collected signatures and want Robert F.
FILE - Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks during a campaign event, Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2023, in Columbia, S.C. Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filed paperwork Thursday, June 20, 2024 to get on the ballot for the November election in swing-state Pennsylvania, the state's election office said.
Speaking about the We The People effort, Democratic board member Siobhan O’Duffy Millen said she was concerned whether volunteers misrepresented Kennedy as an independent candidate, rather than someone who could be the party's nominee. An independent candidate would have to collect at least 83,188 qualifying signatures.
Republican board members criticized the decisions by the Democratic majority, saying it wasn't the board's place to question the motives of organization officials. And the state Democratic Party said the groups were trying to circumvent state law by using the guise of a political party to bypass the more strenuous qualification process for independent candidates.
The Constitution Party had been an official party in 2020, but it failed to perform well enough in the election to remain one. The national Constitution Party this year nominated anti-abortion activist Randall Terry as its presidential candidate.
