A North Carolina court of appeals has blocked ballots from going out with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s name on them as the court reviews Kennedy's case to have his name removed from the ballot. Kennedy suspended his campaign and petitioned to have his name removed from ballots in 10 battleground states, including North Carolina, after endorsing Donald Trump for president.

The court's decision will force North Carolina to delay sending out ballots and the state will miss the Sept. 6 deadline for sending out absentee ballots.

The order released from the court on Friday read, "The stay and injunction will remain in effect until the disposition of petitioner's appeal or until further order of this Court. This cause is remanded to the Superior Court of Wake County for entry of order directing the State Board of Elections to disseminate ballots without the name of petitioner Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. appearing as a candidate for President of the United States."



According the Fox 8, an email was sent out after the ruling to all North Carolina county boards over of elections that read: "Directors (via BCC): The Court of Appeals just issued an order reversing the denial of the restraining order that was requested by Kennedy. It is attached. The court has ordered a further pause to ballot distribution. Do not send any ballots out today." 

"The court has also ordered that the We The People party’s ballot line be removed (including Kennedy and Shanahan). Obviously, this will be a major undertaking for everyone. Our attorneys are reviewing the order and determining how to move forward. No decision has been made on whether this ruling will be appealed. Bottom line: continue to hold your outgoing absentee ballots—both military and overseas citizen ballots, and ballots for civilian voters. We will update you immediately with any further developments."

The case may be appealed further by the North Carolina elections board and bring it up to the state supreme court.
