Liberals were jumping for joy over Robert F. Kennedy Jr being forced to remain on the ballots of Michigan and North Carolina despite him requesting the removal of his name from those ballots. On September 6, those liberals were hit with a hard case of Karmatic Kickback.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has suggested that Michigan would use a two part test to determine whether or not a violation of the right of publicity has occurred, in which the plaintiff must demonstrate pecuniary interest in her identity” or “That her identity has been commercially exploited by a defendant” Obviously the second reason should be a problem for the state. To enter a candidate’s name on a ballot after he has withdrawn, is a violation of his rights based upon the first amendment.

Playing politics much ? bitch ! You're a political whore.
Do I remember correctly that Alaska adopted RCV to keep Murkowski in office?
