The Michigan Supreme Court on Monday ruled Robert F. Kennedy Jr. must stay on the state’s ballot even though he suspended his campaign.
RFK Jr. asked to be removed from ballots in ten key battleground states after he suspended his campaign last month.
RFK will stay on the ballot in states where his presence will hurt Kamala, and he will remove himself from ballots in states where his presence hurts Trump.
“In about 10 battleground states, where my presence would be a spoiler, I’m going to remove my name. And I’ve already started that process and urge voters not to vote for me,” RFK Jr. said.
.....Snip.....
Last week the Michigan Court of Appeals removed RFK Jr. from the ballot, but Jocelyn Benson did not give up the fight.
The Michigan Supreme Court ruled 5 to 2 that RFK Jr. must remain on the state’s ballot.
Two of the justices blasted Jocelyn Benson in a dissent.
“The Secretary’s duty to maintain the integrity of Michigan elections includes an obligation to present actual candidates and associate them with the offices that they are seeking. By requiring Kennedy’s name to appear on the general election ballot, the Secretary of State is improperly and needlessly denying the electorate a choice between persons who are actual candidates willing to serve if elected. We can only hope that the Secretary’s misguided action—now sanctioned with the imprimatur of this Court—will not have national implications,” two justices wrote in a dissent, WXYZ reported.

Yep. They are just democrats grifting Republicans.
Ditto
If the FBI won’t look into Whitmer-Nessel-Benson then maybe Trump will have a team of private investigators out there digging for any smoking guns.
Will the electors for RFK vote for Trump?
Ding, Ding, Ding, We have a winner
Use thia to get him to take “uncommitted “ votes in Dearborn. Ram is down their throats! Also, where are the Repuke Govenors forcing Biden on the ballot.
There are already a bunch of false ballets printed up with JFK’s name on them. If they remove him they have to start all over again or we would know they are fake ballots.
In some cases, the law says there is a deadline to make changes. Tough luck if you are late. I don’t think this is the case of Michigan. It is just up to the politicians and they get to do what they want
That’s only an issue if Mr. Kennedy’s electors win the State.
Remember: The slate of Electors that wins the State goes to the Electoral College and votes for President. The others go home.
He “quit” race before the convention, so he was never the candidate, just the presumed future candidate.
The lengths the rats will go to in order to hurt Trump’s chances are absolutely astounding. The way I see if, if RFK has to stay on, then so does Biden.
Biden should have to remain on the ballot as well.
That deserves an "amen."
There IS life east of I-5.
I hate crooked courts.
The best move of my life was to escape the Michigan rat-hole long ago.
A wise move, apparently.
The swamp will not allow Trump to win. When they say, “by any means necessary,” they mean it. Even sending in their assassins.
So how will Amy see this do you think?
My personal view is if you are so dumb that you don’t realize RFK is not even in the race anymore, then you were likely going to vote for Kamala rather than Trump anyway if RFK wasn’t on the ballot.
