The Wisconsin Supreme Court rejected Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s efforts to remove his name from the state’s presidential ballot in a Friday ruling.
Last week, the Supreme Court accepted Kennedy’s appeal against the Wisconsin Elections Commission, which last month said the independent candidate was to remain on the ballot.
Wisconsin’s highest court pointed to a state law that prevents independent candidates who file nomination papers before the Aug. 6 deadline from being removed from the ballot unless they die. The state’s election commission citied the same statue in its August decision.
Kennedy suspended his campaign in August and endorsed former President Trump. Since then, Kennedy launched legal efforts to remove his name from ballots in battleground states with the goal to boost support for Trump.
