Kennedy Jr. Appeals to Supreme Court Over Ballot
News summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to remove his name from the presidential ballots in Michigan and Wisconsin after suspending his campaign and endorsing Donald Trump. Kennedy argues that keeping his name on the ballot violates his First Amendment rights and could confuse voters, as he is no longer a candidate. The Michigan Supreme Court and the 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals have already ruled against him, citing logistical and legal challenges, including the fact that ballots have already been printed. Despite his appeals in state and federal courts, Kennedy's requests have been rejected, with arguments that allowing changes would disrupt election processes. Kennedy's lawyers emphasize discrepancies in how major party and independent candidates are treated, and they seek expedited Supreme Court review to address these constitutional concerns. The Supreme Court has previously declined to intervene in a similar case in New York related to Kennedy's ballot status.
