During a recent hearing held by the North Carolina State Board of Elections, it was revealed that some voters who signed petitions to support independent presidential candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West may not have fully understood the purpose of those petitions. This discovery has raised concerns and could potentially impact the efforts of these candidates to gain ballot access in the state.
According to the board's staff, they conducted outreach to individuals who had signed the petitions to assist the minor parties associated with Kennedy and West in obtaining ballot access in North Carolina. The investigation revealed that a portion of these voters either were not properly informed about the purpose and intent of the petitions or did not fully comprehend them.
