Three Democrats on the five-member North Carolina Elections Board voted to deny the We the People Party’s bid to nominate Mr. Kennedy as its presidential candidate and to certify him on the state’s general election ballot.

The decision isn’t final as the elections board will meet again on July 9 to revisit requests.
