On September 6, the Virginia Board of Elections determined that Cornel West should be on the ballot after all. On August 29 it had determined that he had enough valid signatures but that he had not submitted certain paperwork. But the Board has now determined the problem with the missing paperwork was not the candidate’s fault.

The Board also removed Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. from the ballot, at his request. And it determined that Claudia De la Cruz, nominee of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, has enough valid signatures. The Board had already approved the Chase Oliver and Jill Stein petitions.

On September 6, a North Carolina State Appeals Court gave a tentative win to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., in his quest to remove his name from the ballot. The Court has not yet decided the issue, but it did order election officials not to send out ballots with Kennedy’s name.

This Washington Post story says that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., now encourages people in every state to vote for Donald Trump rather than Kennedy himself. It also shows that he is withdrawing in all the Trump-leaning states.
