Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name must be removed from North Carolina’s general election ballot, a three-judge panel has ruled.

The panel of the North Carolina Court of Appeals voted unanimously on Sept. 6 to grant Kennedy’s request to halt the mailing of absentee ballots and reprint them without his name.
