Breaking News RFK Jr. Bounced From Bid to Remove Name From State Ballot - What Comes Next

On Friday the Wisconsin Supreme Court handed down a significant ruling rejecting Robert F Kennedy Jr’s attempt to have his name removed from the November ballot The decision comes amidst Kennedy’s suspended independent presidential campaign

According to the court the justices found that Kennedy’s appellate briefs fell short of providing a coherent argument on why he should be excused from the ballot The court stated that his briefs did not adequately address the law which stipulates candidates can only be removed from the ballot in the event of death thus justifying the lower court's decision

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that Kennedy was unable to demonstrate irreparable harm since he volunteered to submit his papers In addition the court highlighted the costs and logistical challenges involved in reprinting ballots Additionally the lower court also rejected the motion to temporarily remove Kennedy’s name

Kennedy had argued that major-party candidates have an unfair advantage over independent candidates when appealing to have their names removed from the ballot However the court did not make any determinations on these claims citing inadequate briefing

In a separate opinion joined by Chief Justice Annette Ziegler Justice Rebecca Bradley expressed her concerns about the ‘ramifications’ of keeping a non-candidate on the ballot stating that leaving a candidate’s name on the ballot can confuse voters

Kennedy initially withdrew his candidacy in August in order to endorse former President Donald Trump

At this time The Epoch Times was unable to reach Kennedy’s attorney regarding the matter Despite the ruling Kennedy continues to face challenges and what Kennedy plans to do next remains unclear as the situation continues to unfold
