Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has sought to drop off ballots in swing states where Donald Trump might benefit in a head-to-head race against Kamala Harris.
Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. must be removed from the North Carolina ballot, the state's Supreme Court ruled.
Trump has a more than 1 percentage point edge over Harris in a head-to-head matchup in North Carolina, according to recent polling averages from RealClearPolling. In a six-candidate race, Harris leads Trump by a .4-percentage point margin in the state.North Carolina awards 16 Electoral College votes to the winner of the presidential race, a total that could provide the margin of victory in the national election.
"Where a ballot contains misleading information or inaccurately lists the candidates, it risks interfering with the right to vote according to one's conscience," Supreme Court Justice Trey Allen wrote in the majority opinion. "To a large extent, any harm suffered by defendants in light of the Court of Appeals' order is of their own making," Allen wrote.
The court's two Democratic Justices Anita Earls and Allison Riggs, as well as Republican Justice Richard Deitz, dissented.
