N.C. Top Court Says Kennedy is Off the Ballot
The drama around Robert F. Kennedy Jr. being on the ballot continues.
In North Carolina, the state Supreme Court just ruled that his name must be taken off the ballot.
Ironically, the state Supreme Court in Michigan ruled the complete opposite.
Remove His Name
This battle in North Carolina has been going back and forth.
Initially, Kennedy was off the ballot, then he was back on, and now he is back off again.
This case is utterly ridiculous, as Kennedy withdrew from the election in plenty of time.
His withdrawal came right around the same time as Joe Biden’s, but nobody had a problem changing out Biden for Harris in what I maintain was an unconstitutional nomination.
But because Kennedy is drawing from Trump, Democrats want him to stay on the ballot to hurt Trump in the general election.
They are doing this while at the same time fighting to keep Jill Stein and Cornel West off the ballot, even though they are both still running.
The order pulling him off the ballot stated, “To protect this important right, the elections process should ensure that voters are presented with accurate information regarding the candidates running for an elected office.
“Where a ballot contains misleading information or inaccurately lists the candidates, it risks interfering with the right to vote according to one’s conscience.”
As noted above, the court in Michigan did not see it that way, simply saying there was no law that demanded Kennedy be taken off the ballot after withdrawing, so they were going to leave him on.
Just for the record, the North Carolina Supreme Court has a conservative majority, while the Michigan Supreme Court has a liberal majority.
It is rather concerning that the party that continues to say it wants a free and fair election is doing everything in its power to ensure that this election is anything but fair.
