Some states are refusing to take Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s name off the ballot despite him having endorsed former President Donald Trump.

While Kennedy sought redress from the Supreme Court, America's highest legal body recently denied his appeal. 

Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett referred Kennedy's case for a vote

According to Fox News, Kennedy filed separate lawsuits against election officials in the critical swing states of Michigan and Wisconsin after they turned down his withdrawal request.

Fox News reporter Bill Mears stated that Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett referred Kennedy's cases for a vote.

Although it is not known how each of the individual justices leaned, Justice Neil Gorsuch was only one who authored a public dissent.

Cheri Hardmon serves as senior press secretary to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, and she previously defended the decision to keep Kennedy's name in place.

"Minor party candidates cannot withdraw, so his name will remain on the ballot in the November election," Fox News quoted her as telling NBC News.

Wisconsin official: "We know Trump and Kennedy are playing games"

Meanwhile, MSNBC reported in August that the Wisconsin Elections Commission had reached a similar conclusion to authorities in Michigan following a five to one vote.

It cited a Wisconsin law which states, "Any person who files nomination papers and qualifies to appear on the ballot may not decline nomination."

"We know Trump and Kennedy are playing games," Wisconsin Elections Commission member Mark Thomsen told the Associated Press. "Whatever games they’re playing, they have to play them with Kennedy on the ballot."

In addition to bringing lawsuits in Michigan and Wisconsin, Kennedy also put forward a similar legal challenge in North Carolina as well.

Fox News noted that North Carolina State Board of Elections Executive Director Karen Brinson Bell pointed to the logistical problems associated with removing Kennedy's name from the ballot.

"When we talk about printing a ballot, we are not talking about ... pressing 'copy' on a Xerox machine. This is a much more complex and layered process," she went on to explain.
