Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Loses Legal Bid To Remove Himself From Michigan Ballot

“Elections are not just games, and the Secretary of State is not obligated to honor the whims of candidates for public office,” a judge wrote.
A judge in Michigan ruled Tuesday Robert F. Kennedy Jr. must remain on the ballot in the state, despite his attempts to remove himself as a candidate after he dropped his presidential bid.
Kennedy withdrew from the race last month and endorsed former President Donald Trump after a long effort — backed by a number of lawsuits — to appear on ballots across the nation. He has since waged a tactical battle to remove his name from key swing states, amid concerns his appearance could pull votes from Trump.
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said late last month that state law prohibits minor-party candidates from removing themselves from the ballot once they’ve been selected as their party’s nominee. Kennedy qualified for the Michigan ballot after being nominated by the Natural Law Party.
But Kennedy sued on Friday, saying the state’s votes could be “diminished and rendered invalid” if he remained on the ballot.
