RALEIGH. N.C. — The North Carolina Democratic Party has challenged the state election board’s recent decision to recognize a new political party that will put Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the state’s presidential ballots.
Petition instructions for We The People stated the party’s purpose was to put Kennedy on the ballot, the complaint contends. According to the Democratic Party’s lawyers, that’s not a permissible purpose under state law, and Kennedy needed to follow the rules for independent candidates. The Democratic Party asked that a judge act by Aug. 16 to issue a preliminary injunction preventing printed ballots for the fall to contain We The People candidates.
By a 3-2 vote, the board’s Democratic majority also voted last week to reject the petition drive seeking recognition for the Justice for All Party, which would have put professor and progressive activist Cornel West on the state’s presidential ballot. Hirsch said he had concerns about how signatures for the group accumulated by another entity were collected.
