Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Wins Ability to Withdraw in Michigan

There is a law that has a restrictive and discriminatory deadline for minor parties to withdraw earlier than major parties. But the Appeals Court said that restrictive law, saying Kennedy should have withdrawn in August, only applies to candidates for state office, not federal office.
