North Carolina officials clear way for political party boosting RFK Jr.

North Carolina‘s election board approved recognizing the We the People Party as it seeks to get independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the ballot in the state.

The board voted 4-1 Tuesday to approve the We the People Party, which was created as a vehicle to get Kennedy ballot access in a few states, less than a month after it rejected initial efforts to be recognized. The party successfully submitted the required number of signatures, along with at least 200 in three congressional districts, to be recognized by the state as a party.
