Kennedy v. North Carolina State Board of Elections, Monday's decision, is exactly what you'd expect from a court controlled by elected Republican justices. The facts are damning: After running for months as a third-party candidate, RFK Jr. "suspended" his campaign and endorsed Trump on Aug. 23. Kennedy then sought to selectively remove his name from the ballot, but only in swing states where it might help Trump. By the time Kennedy dropped out, the North Carolina State Board of Elections had informed candidates and parties that the deadline for replacing nominees would be Aug. 22.

Kennedy did not file his request for removal until Aug. 27, five days after the deadline and four days after he withdrew. By that point, county election boards were already printing ballots. Under state law, the board of elections may refuse a "late" request to remove a candidate from the ballot when removal is no longer "practical." Another state law compels election officials to mail ballots to service members and others living overseas by Sept. 6. North Carolina's state elections director testified that redesigning the ballot would take 18 to 23 days. So removing Kennedy's name from the ballot"then designing and printing substitutes"would require election officials to violate state law. Even if these officials had begun removing Kennedy's name the moment that he suspended his campaign, they could not have met the legal deadline.

Yet the (conservative controlled) North Carolina Supreme Court still sided with Kennedy.

It's sad that they stoop to lawfare to disrupt the democratic process.

As we know, Republicans scream about "lawfare" and all manner of ridiculous claims.

All they have is projection, actually doing what they falsely accuse others of doing.
