Election officials in Wisconsin asked the state's liberal-controlled Supreme Court on Thursday to decide whether Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s name should stay on the presidential ballot before there's an appellate ruling.

Kennedy has been trying to get his name off ballots in key battleground states since he suspended his campaign in August and endorsed former President Donald Trump. Earlier this month a divided North Carolina Supreme Court kept him on the ballot there while the Michigan Supreme Court kept him on that state's ballot.

Kennedy filed a lawsuit in Wisconsin on Sept. 3 seeking a court order removing him from the ballot. A Dane County judge refused to oblige, ruling Monday that state law says candidates must remain on the ballot unless they die.
