Kennedy's Appeal Delays NC Absentee Ballots

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s legal battles to remove his name from the North Carolina presidential ballot have caused significant disruptions, delaying the mailing of absentee ballots to voters. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Kennedy's request, requiring the reprinting of approximately 2.9 million ballots at an estimated cost of $1 million, a decision that has been met with criticism for its timing and financial implications. Election officials are scrambling to comply with the court's order, with the State Board of Elections planning to appeal the decision. The delays and confusion may impact public trust in the election process. Similar rulings have occurred in Michigan, while Kennedy continues to seek removal from ballots in other battleground states to benefit Donald Trump, whom he has endorsed.
