Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s name must be removed from North Carolina's November ballot, the state's Supreme Court ordered.
The 4-3 decision by North Carolina's high court came hours after the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that Kennedy's name had to stay on that state's ballot over his objections.
In all three states, Trump polls better in a two-candidate race than he does in a six-candidate race.
The state Supreme Court ruling acknowledged "that expediting the process of printing new ballots will require considerable time and effort by our election officials and significant expense to the State."
"But our election officials are professionals, and I have no doubt we will rise to the challenge," Bell said.
