Supreme Court rejects RFK Jr. plea to be removed from ballot in two swing states
Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is now allied with Republican nominee Donald Trump and has sought to take his name off the ballot in some states.
Wisconsin law says candidates who are on the ballot are able to withdraw only upon death.
Trump:
He Stein'd himself? Lol.
wait what? You aren't allowed to keep your own name off ballots? That seems weird.
edit: I take it back, he should have made this decision much sooner.
The election is a week away, millions of people have already voted, and he’s abandoned all pretense that he’s trying to do anything at all other than get Trump elected.
He is still fighting to put his name on the ballot in states where it looks like him being there will help Trump. He’s only trying to remove his name, much too late, in states where it looks like him being an option will hurt Trump.
US elections are supposed to be corrupt, but not that corrupt. Even for here that is over the line.
Keep your name off? Absolutely.
Take it off after the ballots are created and voting has started is a different story
Voting is already underway in both states, so it never seemed likely the Supreme Court would grant Kennedy's requests.
At some point the ballots are locked in and printed.
And at this point, people have already voted for him.
True, I wasn't considering how late in the game it is. And TBH he's only doing it (or attempting to) to help Bonespurs, and only in certain states. Rethinking this it seems like a form of election interference.
You know, sometimes it’s better just to not comment instead of displaying your stupidity proudly
