Kennedy, the son of former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, will appear on the Michigan ballot for the upcoming election. Despite his desire to have his name removed from battleground states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Arizona, officials have confirmed that his name will remain on the ballot. The Natural Law Party had already selected potential “electors” should Kennedy win, making it difficult to remove his name at this point. If Kennedy were to pursue legal action to remove his name, the Natural Law Party would not support him. However, his removal from the ballot could potentially harm the party’s chances of maintaining a regular spot on future ballots, as minor parties need to receive a certain percentage of votes to stay qualified. This situation highlights the complexities and challenges of the election process, especially for minor parties and candidates. Kennedy’s presence on the Michigan ballot could have implications for the upcoming election and the future of the Natural Law Party in the state.
