RFK Jr. wins appeals to get off the ballot in Michigan and North Carolina
NBC News ^ | September 6, 2024 | Jane C. Timm

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. won two appeals Friday as he seeks to have his name removed from state ballots, delaying the expected first mailing of absentee ballots of the 2024 elections.

In North Carolina, an appeals court said Kennedy should be removed from the ballot, a ruling that would require counties to reprint ballots which were expected to be mailed beginning Friday. It's unclear if that ruling, which reverses a lower court's denial Thursday, will be appealed. But it will at least temporarily delay the distribution of mail ballots.

In Michigan, an appeals court agreed to remove Kennedy from the ballot as well, disagreeing with Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, that it was too late to remove him. Benson plans to appeal immediately, said Angela Benander, a spokesman for the secretary, as military and overseas ballots must go out soon.

Looks like they’re going to have to make up a new batch of pre-filled ballots to stuff the boxes with.

The Michigan SoS gave away her ultra partsanship by appealing the decision despite RFK Jr requesting removal of his name from ballot AND the looming ballot printing deadline.

“Wins appeal” in this case means a democrat partisan who abandoned her constitutional duties for political reasons had to be ordered by a court to do her job.

Kamala only became the official nominee, what, two weeks ago? The day the convention ended RFKj asked to be removed. But somehow it was OK to print new ballots with Kamala’s name on it, but not OK to remove RFKj at the same time.

Sure. No partisan party tricks here!

Glad the judge saw through it. Any consternation about delays in mailing ballots are crocodile tears. They could have just done the right thing weeks ago. Now, further appeals! Further delays.

If you ever saw the reboot of “Battlestar Galactica.” This exact thing happened. (Great Sci Fi until they ran out of ideas in the last season and just vomited something on the screen)

The president’s faction was trying to cheat and had pre printed ballots already filled out. But the fair election showed her opponent won the real vote. One mistake. The real ballots had a spelling error on them while the fake ballots didn’t. Would be fun if something like that happened to the democrats.

Apparently, it was fine to remove Joe Biden’s name and replace him with Harris ... but not remove RFK, Jr. What a bunch of sleazebags.
