MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s Democratic governor has signed a bipartisan bill that would allow candidates to remove their names from the ballot. The bipartisan law Governor Tony Evers signed Friday addresses an issue that arose last year when Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tried to remove himself from the presidential ballot in the battleground state. At the time, the only way a certified candidate’s name could be removed from the ballot in Wisconsin was if they died.
Kennedy wanted to withdraw his name from the ballot in Wisconsin and six other swing states after dropping his independent bid in late August and endorsing Republican President Donald Trump.
