North Carolina’s state Board of Elections voted against giving ballot access to new parties supporting presidential candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West on Wednesday night, though the decision is not final and will be revisited before the November election in the key battleground state.
The decision comes amid an emerging national proxy war between the two major parties over independent and third-party candidates. Democrats generally believe that any minor candidates will split the anti-Trump coalition and hurt Biden, while Republican views are more complicated. Republicans on the panel objected to the moves, noting that the pro-West and pro-Kennedy parties had submitted the necessary number of signatures.
