The North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) has rejected We the People Party’s request to remove the name of its nominee, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., from the state general election ballot.

The NCSBE said it would be impractical to reprint ballots by the state’s absentee voting deadline in eight days, given that approximately 2 million ballots with Kennedy’s name have already been printed.
