Supreme Court rejects push to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from ballots

Supreme Court rejects push to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from ballots

By LINDSAY WHITEHURST

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected an emergency appeal to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from the presidential ballot in two battleground states.

Kennedy wanted to get off the ballot in Wisconsin and Michigan after dropping his independent bid and endorsing Republican Donald Trump in the tight contest. He argued that keeping him on violated his First Amendment rights.

Michigan and Wisconsin said removing his name now, with early voting underway days before the election, would be impossible.

The justices did not detail their reason in rejecting the emergency appeal. Justice Neil Gorsuch dissented in the Michigan case.
