President - 9/3/24

Ballot: Key States Make Decisions: More states are finalizing their 2024 general election ballot, and we see new decisions announced in key battlegrounds. The North Carolina Board of Elections ruled that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, (I) will remain on the ballot despite his withdrawal action. Mr. Kennedy says he will sue to overturn the Board’s ruling.

In Georgia, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) declared that Mr. Kennedy can withdraw from the ballot, while Green Party nominee Jill Stein is disqualified. Making the Georgia ballot are Independent Cornel West and Communist Party nominee Claudia de la Cruz.

The new Virginia ruling includes Mr. Kennedy on the ballot but Dr. West is disqualified.

NE-2: Harris Leads in S-USA Poll: As part of Survey USA’s Nebraska statewide poll, the research organization tested the state’s 2nd District, the seat that can vote against the Republican statewide result and deliver an important electoral vote to the Democrats.
​
According to the S-USA results (8/23-27; 507 NE-2 registered voters; multiple sampling techniques), Vice President Kamala Harris leads former President Donald Trump by a 47-42% margin. This district is important because, if it votes Mr. Trump’s way, the CD could cause a tie in the Electoral College, thus sending the race to the House of Representatives to decide the final outcome.
