Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has filed a lawsuit against the North Carolina State Board of Elections seeking to remove his name from the November ballot after suspending his campaign and endorsing Donald Trump. The board rejected his request, stating it was impractical to alter ballots already printed for the upcoming election. Kennedy's lawsuit claims that the board's refusal violates his constitutional rights and state election law, arguing that his continued presence on the ballot could inadvertently aid his opponents, particularly Kamala Harris. This legal action comes after Kennedy announced on August 23 that he would withdraw from key battleground states to avoid affecting the election outcome. The board's decision was made by a 3-2 vote, emphasizing logistical challenges and the start of absentee voting. Kennedy's situation reflects a complex interplay of electoral strategy and legal rights as the election approaches.
