The Democrat-majority North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) blocked presidential candidates for the Justice for All Party (Cornel West) and the We the People Party (Robert F Kennedy, Jr.) from November's general election ballot. They approved the Constitution Party's candidate (Randall Terry).
NCSBE member Alan Hirsch explained "it's not that we disapprove of the views of either Mr. West or Mr. Kennedy. They are acceptably left-of-center, but that's the problem. President Biden is also left-of-center. Having these three men split the left-of-center vote can only work to the advantage of Donald Trump."
"The reason for our approval of the right-of-center Mr. Randall to appear on the ballot should be obvious," Hirsch continued. "If we had kicked him off the ballot many of the people who would've voted for him are people who would never vote for Biden. To them Biden's strong support for abortion makes him a baby killer. Keeping him on the ballot can only work to the disadvantage of Trump who is also opposed to baby killing."
"I know some will contend that our actions in booting some off the ballot are anti-democratic," Hirsch admitted. "But we can't afford to let such nit-picking divert us from doing what's necessary to try to save America's democracy. This year's election may be our nation's last election. If it is, it is essential that a Democrat win it. We are proud of doing our part in trying to make this happen."

According to this...RFK is on the ballot in NC
It is so crazy that the Democrat party believes it is ok for THEM to ignore democracy in order to save their democracy.
Yeah may put Kennedy on because he could suck Trump votes. They sure as hell will keep West off. The pathetic NC GOP should be fighting it. West did everything needed to qualify. So where are they?
Reminds me of this quote from GWB:
“I had to abandon free market principles in order to save the free market system.” - George W. Bush
This appears to be satire, not marked as such.
