 It was a split decision for presidential candidates trying to get on the North Carolina presidential ballot. Bruce Farrell reports. The State Board of Elections ruling that presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s name will appear on the ballot, but Cornel West will not. The vote to approve Kennedy's We the People party for the ballot was 4-1, but several Democratic members of the board stated concerns about how the signatures for Kennedy's petition were collected, but they said they didn't believe they had the right to deny him access. West can still take his denial to court.
