Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy will stay on the North Carolina ballot, according to the State Board of Elections, despite his recent decision to withdraw from battleground ballots and support former President Trump.

“The State Board of Elections on Thursday rejected a request from the We The People Party to remove its nominee, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., from the general election ballot, because it would not be practical to reprint ballots that have already been printed and meet the state law deadline to start absentee voting,” a press release reads.

“The State Board scheduled an emergency meeting for Thursday to consider the request,” the board said later in the release. “A majority of the Board determined it was too late in the process to change course and prepare and print new ballots across the state.”

The election board also featured the document from Kennedy’s party that requested he and his running mate Nichole Shanahan be removed from the ticket in the Tar Heel state.
