from The National Pulse:
A Dane County, Wisconsin judge has ruled that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s name will stay on the state’s presidential ballot despite his request to be removed. Circuit Judge Stephen Ehlke stated Wisconsin law only permits presidential candidates to be removed if they die after submitting valid nomination papers.
Judge Ehlke emphasized the clear language of the statute, remarking, “The statute is plain on its face.”

“Mr. Kennedy has no one to blame but himself if he didn’t want to be on the ballot,” he added. With the deadline for printing ballots approaching this Wednesday, there is limited time for Kennedy to pursue further legal action.
Kennedy appealed to a state appellate court last week, ahead of Ehlke’s ruling. The Second District Court of Appeals is considering the case but was awaiting Judge Ehlke’s decision. Earlier in the month, the Wisconsin Elections Commission voted 5-1 to include Kennedy on the ballot, rejecting efforts by Republicans to remove him. #
Democrats were able to remove Joe Biden‘s name from the Wisconsin ballot earlier this summer, supposedly because he had yet to be certified as the party’s official nominee.
The presence of independent candidates in Wisconsin’s election could significantly impact the results. The state has experienced narrow margins in four of the past six presidential elections, ranging from 5,700 to about 23,000 votes.
Although Kennedy suspended his campaign in August and endorsed former President Donald J. Trump, he continues to seek removal from battleground state ballots, believing his presence increases Kamala Harris’s chances of winning.
Earlier this month, Kennedy succeeded in getting his name removed from North Carolina ballots through a court order.
