Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will remain on the ballot in battleground North Carolina, despite suspending his campaign last week. The North Carolina State Board of Elections voted 3-2, along party lines, in an emergency meeting on Thursday to deny a request from the We The People Party to remove its presidential candidates, Kennedy and running mate Nicole Shanahan, from the ballot.
North Carolina begins sending out absentee-by-mail ballots next Friday. The election board’s executive director, Karen Brinson Bell, said during the emergency meeting that around 1.7 million ballots had already been printed or were in the process of being printed.
