Start of early voting in North Carolina could be delayed after ruling in RFK Jr. ballot challenge [View all]

CNN — The first ballots in the nation are scheduled to start going out Friday in North Carolina, but that could be delayed after a judge ordered a temporary pause on ballot distribution.

The ruling came in response to a request from former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to remove his name from the ballot.

North Carolina’s Democratic-controlled State Board of Elections voted along party lines last week to reject Kennedy’s request, saying that it wouldn’t be practical to reprint ballots and delay the start of voting.

Kennedy, who dropped out of the race last month and endorsed former President Donald Trump, then challenged that decision in court.
