Claims are refusing to remove previous presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s brand from their ballots in November in a savage attempt to take away Donald Trump’s votes.
Despite the separate, former president’s member suspending his campaign last month, at least three of the nation’s most important battleground states are retaliating. He subsequently endorsed former US President Donald Trump.
When Kennedy made the announcement to withdraw from the race on Friday, he said he would “remove” his name from the votes in about 10 battleground states where he might be a” prequel” and take seats away from Trump.
However, Kennedy’s attempts to withdraw from the race in some states either came after the ballots were already in place or the departure was not even an option.
According to a report from USA Today, his name will appear on the votes in Wisconsin and Michigan, according to a confirmation from the Wisconsin Elections Commission and the Secretary of State’s department in Michigan. And in North Carolina, another important swing state, absent vote with Kennedy’s name on it have already been printed before they’re mailed to voters beginning next year on Sept. 6.
The We The Persons Party, which officially nominated Kennedy, has not yet informed the state of any programs to alter its election, according to a spokeswoman for the North Carolina State Board of Elections.
In close-quarters of a vote, Trump and Democrat nominee Kamala Harris are polling within the range of failure of each other in Wisconsin, Michigan, and North Carolina.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission approved its ballot on Tuesday for the November election, which includes candidates for Green Party member Jill Stein and democratic scientific Cornel West.
Kennedy may also be on Minnesota vote, among others.
USA Today information:
Because the country’s law prohibits anyone who files election documents and qualifies to appear on the ballot, Kennedy’s request to remove his name from the Wisconsin vote was rejected. That man, in this case Kennedy, does appear on the ballot “except in case of death of the person”, the law says.
The Minnesota Secretary of State’s office informed USA TODAY that Kennedy’s name will continue to appear on the ballot in the previously Democratic state where the Trump campaign has vowed to turn dark.
Kennedy’s name, however, did not appear on the votes in four different leading battlegrounds states: Pennsylvania Georgia, Nevada and Arizona. In these says, Kennedy was sometimes able to withdraw successfully before the date or his nomination had not yet been approved.
In Georgia, a judge recently ruled that Kennedy was ineligible for the state’s vote because of questions surrounding his citizenship. This is in contrast to the ruling in New York, where Kennedy was denied the right to vote for a fake residence.
Ohio, Texas, and Florida are other states where Kennedy successfully withdrew his candidacy and wo n’t appear on the ballot. Kennedy made it clear that he would continue to cast ballots in states where Trump and Harris are unlikely to be strongly contested, giving his supporters the chance to also cast ballots for him when he suspended his campaign.
