On September 21, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. asked the U.S. Supreme Court to put him on the ballot. Team Kennedy v Berger, 24A285. He had been kept off, even though he had enough valid signatures, because he put an address on his declaration of candidacy that was questioned.

Here is the filing. He filed it only three days after he lost in the Second Circuit. The U.S. On September 23, the Supreme Court has asked for a response by Wednesday, September 25.

In a somewhat similar Nevada Green Party ballot access appeal, the Green Party took seven days to file in the U.S. Supreme Court, and the Nevada Democratic Party and the Secretary of State of Nevada criticized the Green Party for taking that long.

Both federal and state courts in Michigan have ruled that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, cannot withdraw, partly because it would leave the party that nominated him, the Natural Law Party, with no nominees. However, the Natural Law Party has a nominee for Governor of Wayne State University, a partisan statewide race.

Therefore, even if Kennedy had withdrawn in Michigan, the Natural Law Party would still be extremely likely to retain its place on the ballot for future elections. Minor party candidates for Michigan’s partisan statewide elections always poll enough votes to keep their party on the ballot. The vote test is only 1% of the winning candidate’s vote total for Secretary of State in the last Secretary of State election. No minor party has ever run for a statewide partisan educational post and failed to win enough votes.

Here is the Michigan candidate list. The educational statewide offices are toward the back of the list.

Guam is the only jurisdiction that does not have electoral votes and yet which holds a presidential general election. Any presidential candidate may be on the ballot by request. No petition nor filing fee is required.

This year, the ballot will list the nominees of the Democratic, Republican, Green, American Solidarity, Prohibition and Socialist Parties. Also it will include Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., with the “independent” label. Thanks to Tony Roza for this news.

Guam has been holding presidential elections starting in 1980. Because Guam is on the other side of the International Date Line, relative to the United States, the results from Guam can be known by election day morning in the United States.
