Wisconsin Lawmakers Propose Method for Removing Candidates from the Ballot in the Future
- Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin are proposing a bill to allow candidates to remove their names from the ballot, addressing issues raised by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s attempts last year to withdraw his name.
- Kennedy successfully removed his name from ballots in five states but remained on the ballot in Wisconsin due to restrictive state laws, which only allow removal if a candidate dies.
- The proposed bill would let candidates withdraw by submitting a sworn statement and paying a fee, but it would not apply to major party presidential candidates, according to the bill's co-sponsors.
- The bill must be approved by the Republican-controlled legislature and signed by Democratic Governor Tony Evers to become law.
