The Supreme Court declined Tuesday to let Robert F. Kennedy Jr. withdraw his name from ballots in Michigan and Wisconsin, battleground states where votes for his now suspended campaign could cut into support for former President Donald Trump.

Kennedy, who left the presidential race in August and endorsed Trump, urged the Supreme Court in an emergency appeal to force the states to yank his name from the ballots. But state election officials countered that early and absentee voting in the states was already well underway.

In other words, they said, it was too late.

"Michigan told the Supreme Court this week that over 1.5 million voters had already returned absentee ballots with Kennedy's name listed as an option on them and that another 263,000 residents had voted early.

"This election is not merely imminent,' it is already underway, and voters are already voting," Michigan officials had told the Supreme Court.

The Trump Rwing Court really had little choice with the States opposed because the vote was already underway.

But still, there was this poor excuse for a human bea'n:

"Justice Neil Gorsuch, a member of the court's conservative wing, dissented in the Michigan case."

A love note to Donold.

RFK Jr. is an embarrassment. Which reminds me of this:

Trump didn't want to name Donald Jr. after himself in case he was a loser

Sorry Bobby Kennedy Sr., but your name is now inextricably linked to your idiot son.

Where are the morons who like to tell us how the Supreme Court isn't biased.

I need some laughs.

Currently, yes.

But in the long-term view of history?

I doubt of RFK, Jr will be anything more than a minor footnote to RFK, Sr's legacy.

That's assuming Trump loses?

If RFK Junior helps Trump win (a la Jill Stein 2016! and Ralph Nader 2000!) ... so many possibilities!

It is my current opinion.

How the future may change that opinion is not yet known to me.


... If RFK Junior helps Trump win ...

I guess the best answer to that is a question, and veering back to the thread topic ...

If RFK Jr is on the ballot, which party does he draw votes from?

RFKJR draws votes from morons who don't know he's dropped out from the election.

Whether those idiots would have voted for Harris or Trump or Stein or just stayed at home is merely speculation.

Trump. That's why Hair Furor panicked and bribed Junior into dropping out.

RFK Jr. and the third-party effect are now hurting Trump
[...] there's increasing evidence that independent candidate Kennedy, in particular -- a candidate once elevated by Donald Trump's allies when he was challenging President Joe Biden in the Democratic primaries -- is pulling significantly more votes from Trump than Harris.
