The Wisconsin Elections Commission has voted 5-1 to keep Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the presidential ballot for the 2024 election, despite his request to be removed. This decision follows a similar move by Michigan, where attempts to remove Kennedy from the ballot also failed. The Wisconsin commission's decision also included rejecting a Democratic attempt to oust independent candidate Cornel West. Kennedy's presence on the ballot is seen as potentially impacting the electoral dynamics in battleground states, where he has stated he could affect Donald Trump's chances.
