Current News on Election 2024
Today, significant news has emerged regarding the Election 2024 ballots in North Carolina. A judge in Wake County refused to force state election officials to reprint ballots to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name, but allowed a brief delay so Kennedy could appeal the decision to a higher court.
