The North Carolina State Board of Elections is currently seeking the state Supreme Court's intervention to reverse an appeals court ruling that mandated the removal of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s name from the ballot. This decision has caused a delay in the distribution of ballots in North Carolina, which were originally scheduled to begin on Friday.
In a legal brief submitted to the Supreme Court, attorneys representing the state board expressed concerns about the impact of removing Kennedy's name at such a late stage in the election process. They stated that this action has created significant disruptions in the state's electoral procedures, leading to a state of chaos.
