evidence: Washington — Unlike the Republican and Democratic presidential nominees, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced a costly and time-consuming process to appear on general election ballots as an independent candidate before he suspended his campaign on Aug. 23. [...] Kennedy is currently on the ballot in two contested states — Michigan and Wisconsin. [...] Kennedy was officially on the ballot in Arizona, North Carolina and Nevada — all battleground states — but will no longer appear. He also will not appear on the ballot in Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Wyoming.
