Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. sued North Carolina Friday in an effort to get his name off the presidential ballot in the battleground state a week after he suspended his campaign.
A week after Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. suspended his third-party presidential campaign and endorsed former President Trump, he filed a lawsuit against the North Carolina State Board of Elections to get his name removed from the state’s ballot before November. When he suspended his campaign, Kennedy said he planned to keep his name on the ballot in safe Democratic and Republican states but didn’t want to be a spoiler in the battleground states.
On Thursday, in a 3-2 vote, the elections board denied Kennedy’s request to have him removed there, arguing that nearly 2 million ballots have already been printed in 67 of 100 counties, and it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to redo them with the first deadline for absentee ballots on Sept. 6.

When we talk about printing a ballot, we are not talking about ... pressing ‘copy’ on a Xerox machine. This is a much more complex and layered process,' Board Executive Director Karen Brinson Bell said. 'With the November election looming and ballot deadlines fast-approaching, Kennedy has no choice but to turn to this Court for immediate relief,' his lawsuit said. It added that the election board’s decision violated his speech and state election law, The Charlotte Observer reported.
Don't you want a president who's going to protect America's freedoms and who is going to protect us against totalitarianism?' Kennedy said at a rally in Glendale, Arizona.
