FILE - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks to reporters at the Nassau County Supreme Court in Mineola, N.Y. on Aug. 21, 2024. RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina ’s elections board refused on Thursday to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from the state’s presidential ballot, with a majority agreeing it was too late in the process to accept the withdrawal.
A majority of state board members agreed making the change would be impractical given that state law directs the first absentee ballots for the Nov. 5 elections be mailed to requesters starting Sept. 6. North Carolina is the first state in the nation to send fall election ballots, board Executive Director Karen Brinson Bell said.No. 24 N.C.
The two Republican members on the board who backed Kennedy’s removal suggested the state could have more time and flexibility to generate new ballots.
