The Michigan Republican Party chairman, Ron Weiser, has filed an emergency application with the state Supreme Court requesting an immediate ruling on whether Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can appear on the ballot as the party’s candidate for governor. Benson’s filing states that the Michigan Board of State Canvassers should not certify Kennedy’s candidacy due to missing documents. This request comes after Kennedy filed a late affidavit and a financial disclosure form with the Secretary of State’s office, which caused delays in the review process. Weiser argues that Kennedy failed to comply with state election law, and therefore, should not be allowed to run for office. However, Kennedy’s legal team has defended his candidacy, stating that the missing documents were submitted within the legal deadline, and they accuse Weiser of attempting to sabotage his campaign. The high court is expected to make a decision on the matter soon, as the deadline for certifying candidates for the November election is quickly approaching. If Kennedy is not allowed to appear on the ballot, it could have significant implications for the Michigan Republican Party and the upcoming election. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
