A judge in Michigan ruled Tuesday that independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. must stay on the state’s presidential ballot.
Kennedy announced earlier this month he would be withdrawing from the race and threw his support behind former President Trump. He said he was trying to take his name off ballots in swing states where, if he stayed on the ticket, he could draw votes away from the former president. He will remain on blue and red state ballots.
Michigan and Wisconsin, key Midwest purple states, rejected Kennedy’s attempt to remove his name from the ballot, citing their state laws for a candidate or nominee withdrawing.
In North Carolina, the state’s board of elections said it was too late for Kennedy to withdraw since ballots had already begun being printed. Kennedy filed a lawsuit in an attempt to remove his name.
Kennedy filed a similar lawsuit in Michigan’s Court of Claims against Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) after his attempt to be removed from the ballot was rejected.
A judge Tuesday determined Kennedy will appear on Michigan’s ballot this November, The Associated Press reported.

They take of actual candidates who are running, but keep him on.
This is election fraud. Not vote fraud, per se, but a component of election fraud.
A few short weeks ago they were fighting to get his name OFF the ballot.
A pundit said a few days ago this election ploy by the Leftist Michigan AG and Governor will cost some Trump votes.
They know it is dishonest to tell voters they can vote for the man who said he doesn’t want to be on the ballot here.
They are such filthy that I feel like taking a shower after being in the same state with them here.
Chief Thomas McGrath on Law and Order SVU:
“You’re all making a mistake by treating them as if they are humans. They’re not. They’re politicians.”
That's always been my take on the 2020 election. The left asks, "Where's the voter fraud?" and although there was voter fraud, the real issue was election fraud writ large.
Remember, all the states worked hard to keep Trump from being on a state’s ballot if he had been charged, and then also if he had been convicted of a crime? After totally false claims against him in kangaroo courts.
Took a SCOTUS decision to keep a major party’s leading candidate on the primary and November ballots.
What a country.
Third World ones would blush over that.
Judges don’t or shouldn’t have the authority.
typo: they are such filth....
I could have said they stink like a pig’s rear end in the summertime.

Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel. ~ John Quinton, American actor/writer
Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.~Oscar Ameringer, “the Mark Twain of American Socialism.

It is according to who wants what whether it happens or not.
The right people wanted Bidens’s name off.
The right people did not want RFK’s name off.
Hence Biden’s name came off.
RFK’s name did not come off.
It is not who you know, but who you blow.
The more names on the ballots the more “votes” the ‘Rats can transfer to their candidate.
The “press” will be amazed by all of the RFK Jr. voters who decided to vote for Kamabla.
I’m telling you we are now living in a communist country already when you have corrupt judges like this. Conservatives will never win anything while we have corrupt judges corrupt voting machines corrupt RINOS corrupt FBI corrupt DOJ corrupt CIA corrupt president corrupt lawyers corrupt governors corrupt city officials corrupt Pentagon generals captains admirals corrupt media pukes …there’s no escaping them! This nation is really really screwed.
The Demonicrats didn’t want to give RFK,Jr Secret Service protection when he was a running as a presidential candidate. In fact, the Demonicrats fought to keep RFK,Jr off the ballot, even as an independent, because they thought it would hurt them. They finally gave him SS protection after DJT was nearly assassinated.
When RFK,Jr quit the race and supported DJT, the Demonicrats are now fighting to keep him on the ballot in several states as a presidential candidate, because it would help the Demonicrat presidential ticket of lying idiots. Yet despite their claims that RFK,Jr remain on those ballots as a presidential candidate, they have ordered RFK,Jr’s SS protection stopped.
“A few short weeks ago they were fighting to get his name OFF the ballot.”
Excellent point.
Early voting and mass absentee and mail-in voting are compounding evils. When does early voting begin? When do ballots have to be mailed? (Bear in mind the longstanding issues with late arriving military absentees.) Back up from the mailing dates to allow for close inspection of the ballots — remembering that ballots vary from one state legislative, city council, or myriad county level race to another — and then add printing time.
I don’t know if the Michigan deadlines are unreasonable or not, but there has to be a drop-dead date somewhere, and it ain’t election day. The Trump and RFK, Jr. campaigns are responsible for knowing the dates. So would the Michigan GOP — a notoriously dysfunctional mess in recent years — but it probably wasn’t in the loop on the RFK, Jr. endorsement.
“black-robed tyrants work 24/7 to destroy the freedoms of the masses” applies.
Because it might cause chaos for a political leader to change
his mind and wish to be removed from the ballot...
Gotta hand that judge the Fickeled Finger of Fate Award
for his absence of any logic whatsoever on this.
As Macho MAGA Man said in post 1, it’s okay for Biden to
withdraw his name though? LMAO So transparent!
Second grade logic, check!
No single person should have the authority to do a lot of what happens.
Senate majority leader deciding that a bill that could affect the lived of millions for decades shouldn’t be voted on by the elected representatives of the people, a psycho governor paid to go full lockdown during the plandemic, my boss telling 15 people they have to give up time with their families and stay two hours late whether they like it or not, my girlfriend deciding what’s for supper all by herself...
