The U.S. Supreme Court has denied Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s request to have his name removed from the presidential election ballots in Michigan and Wisconsin. Kennedy had sought the court's intervention to remove his name from the ballots in some states while ensuring it remained in others. However, election officials from Michigan and Wisconsin argued that it was too late to make such changes, as it would disenfranchise voters. The Supreme Court's decision saw no public dissents in the Wisconsin case, while Justice Neil Gorsuch dissented in the Michigan case, citing a critique from three Sixth Circuit judges. The decision was an 8-1 ruling.
