Last week, the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) decided in a vote at an emergency meeting on Aug. 29 to reject a request from the We The People Party to remove Kennedy, its nominee, from the general election ballot. In its decision, the board said it would be impractical to reprint ballots by the Sept. 6 deadline for mailing the first absentee ballots while also noting the additional costs involved in reprinting.

Kennedy filed a lawsuit the following day at the Wake County Superior Court, accusing the election board of causing him irreparable harm by refusing to remove his name from the ballot.
