After Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropped out of the presidential race last week and threw his support behind former President Trump, several states have refused to remove his name from the ballot after he announced he would do so in about 10 swing states.

“Our polling consistently showed that by staying on the ballot in the battleground states, I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues,” Kennedy said just before endorsing Trump, Insider reports.

Three key states have dug in and are refusing to remove his name;

Michigan – a key battleground state, said it was too late for Kennedy to withdraw as the nominee of the Natural Law Party.

Wisconsin – whose Elections Commission voted 5-1 on Tuesday against removing his name, citing a law which says “any person who files nomination papers and qualifies to appear on the ballot may not decline nomination.”

Colorado – which, while less competitive for Trump than Michigan or Wisconsin, also refused to remove Kennedy’s name.

“Minor party candidates cannot withdraw, so his name will remain on the ballot in the November election,” said Cheri Hardmon, a spokesperson for Michigan Secretary of State in a statement to the Detroit News.

“The Natural Law Party held their convention to select electors for Robert Kennedy Jr. They cannot meet at this point to select new electors since it’s past the primary,” she added.
