Splitting along party lines, North Carolina’s state Board of Elections on Wednesday opted against giving Independent presidential hopefuls Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West ballot access …
Three Democrats on the panel voted to keep Kennedy and West off-ballot “for now,” while the board’s two Republicans expressed discontent with the process.
“If this board keeps rubber-stamping thinly veiled so-called parties, national operatives are going to continue to come in and keep manipulating our system,” Democrat-appointed commissioner Siobhan Millen said, “The actions of the Democratic members of the Board reflect a disturbing trend of putting partisan gain over democratic values,” West said in a statement. “The people deserve the right to choose, not to have their options limited by a party fearful of competition.”
