A federal appeals court on Oct. 16 denied a request from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to reconsider a ruling that upheld a federal judge’s decision to keep his name on the ballot in Michigan.

Kennedy, an independent presidential candidate, withdrew from the race earlier this year and subsequently requested to have his name removed from the ballot. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said that the request came too close to the election and that state law prevents minor party candidates from withdrawing after being nominated at state conventions.
