The Michigan Supreme Court’s decision on Monday mandated that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. remain listed on the state’s ballot, despite his suspension of campaign activities.
Following the suspension of his campaign last month, RFK Jr. sought to be removed from ballots in ten crucial swing states.
At a press conference in Phoenix, he announced the suspension of his presidential campaign and expressed support for President Trump.
RFK Jr. will continue to appear on the ballot in states where his candidacy may negatively impact Kamala, while opting to withdraw from ballots in states where his presence may disadvantage Trump.
“In about 10 battleground states, where my presence would be a spoiler, I’m going to remove my name. And I’ve already started that process and urge voters not to vote for me,” RFK Jr. said.
RFK Jr. is the nominee for the Natural Law Party in the state of Michigan.
“The Natural Law Party held their convention to select electors for [RFK Jr.]. They cannot meet at this point to select new electors since it’s past the primary,” a spox for Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said.
The Michigan Court of Appeals ousted RFK Jr. from the ballot last week, but Jocelyn Benson refused to back down.
In a 5 to 2 ruling, the Michigan Supreme Court ordered that RFK Jr. be reinstated on the state’s ballot. Two justices criticized Jocelyn Benson in their dissent.
“The Secretary’s duty to maintain the integrity of Michigan elections includes an obligation to present actual candidates and associate them with the offices that they are seeking. By requiring Kennedy’s name to appear on the general election ballot, the Secretary of State is improperly and needlessly denying the electorate a choice between persons who are actual candidates willing to serve if elected. We can only hope that the Secretary’s misguided action—now sanctioned with the imprimatur of this Court—will not have national implications,” two justices wrote in a dissent, WXYZ reported.
WXYZ reported:
The Michigan Supreme Court in a 5 to 2 ruling has ordered that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be on the ballot in Michigan’s General Election in November.
The court found that under Michigan law, there is no duty for Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to remove Kennedy from the ballot.
The court’s majority wrote, “Assuming, without deciding, that the Court of Appeals was correct in its interpretation of MCL 168.686a(4), plaintiff has neither pointed to any source of law that prescribes and defines a duty to withdraw a candidate’s name from the ballot nor demonstrated his clear legal right to performance of this specific duty, let alone identified a source of law written with “ ‘such precision and certainty as to leave nothing to the exercise of discretion or judgment.’ ” Thus, the plaintiff has not shown an entitlement to this extraordinary relief, and we reverse.”
It’s quite telling what type of radical enterprise Democrats have become. As they were fighting with all they’ve had to keep JFK Jr off the ballots everywhere to protect their fake “democracy”, now they are doing the same to keep him on, after he endorsed Trump, to again to protect their “democracy”.
Since RFK is not running, why can’t he refer all his vote to Trump??
Is There ANYBODY In The U.S.S.A. That Is Sane Enough To Figure Out That If RFK Jr. Is With Trump?-Then You Might Want To VOTE For Trump???-Are People REALLY That Dumb??-Like The Black Community That Was Crucified By The K.K.K. For the Last 50 Years is Their/Dumbocraps Largest Voter Support???-Like Spending Your $$ To Buy Nice Things For Your Executioner!-BBBBAAAAHHHAAAHHHAAHHHAAA!!!
just have the votes for him rewarded to Trump since he endorse him
Agreed, Redmon but the Communist Democrats have plans to get RFK Jr’s votes given to Crapama Harris.
