WASHINGTON – Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has asked the Supreme Court to take him off Michigan’s presidential ballot despite lower courts’ rulings that it’s too late to make changes before the Nov. 5 election.

Kennedy’s emergency request was filed two days after he made a similar appeal to get off the ballot in Wisconsin, one of the six other swing states expected to decide the presidential race.

The Supreme Court has asked election officials in both Michigan and Wisconsin to respond by Monday afternoon.Kennedy ended his presidential campaign in August and endorsed former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee.

Since then, he’s sought to get his name off the ballot in competitive states to avoid taking votes away from Trump even as he unsuccessfully asked the Supreme Court to put him on the ballot in New York.
