RFK Jr. dropped from Nevada ballot despite missing deadline
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will not be on the general election ballot in Nevada despite missing the withdrawal deadline.
FOX5 obtained a court order from the Nevada Secretary of State’s office. RFK Jr. and Nicole Shanahan submitted the signatures needed to appear in the Nov. 2024 general election.
Last week, the independent presidential candidate dropped out of the race and endorsed GOP candidate Donald Trump.
The Nevada Secretary of State’s Office says the last day for a presidential candidate to withdraw from the race is seven days after the deadline to file, excluding holidays and weekends, which was Aug. 9.
The deadline for Kennedy to withdraw would have been before Aug. 20.
On Tuesday, an order of dismissal was filed. It states that the candidate’s names will not appear on the November ballot.
The case is also permanently dismissed.
The filing was signed by former Carson City District Court Judge William Maddox.
