North Carolina state elections board appeals RFK Jr. ballot ruling
From CNN's Ethan CohenThe North Carolina State Board of Elections is asking the state Supreme Court to overturn an appeals court ruling which required the state to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name from the ballot.
Ballots were supposed to start going out in North Carolina on Friday, but the appeals court order earlier in the day froze that process.
In a brief to the Supreme Court, lawyers for the state board wrote that the decision to remove Kennedy at this late stage “has thrown our State’s elections process into chaos.”
While the board says thatit has begun the process of recoding ballots without Kennedy’s name, its lawyers argue that a quick reversal from the Supreme Court would “avoid most of the irreparable harm” caused by the lower court ruling.
Trump’s reaction: Former President Donald Trump has welcomed the decision, saying in remarks to a police union in the state earlier today that Kennedy’s request to be removed was part of their strategy to send Kennedy’s supporters to Trump.
“He’s an incredible team player, and he didn’t want anybody to be voting his name, because, as you know, he fully endorsed us,” Trump said.
