RFK Jr. Removed from NY Ballot Over Residency Claim

Aug 12, 2024, 11:50 PM

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been ruled off the New York presidential ballot after a judge determined he falsely claimed a New York residence on his nominating petitions. The court found that Kennedy's presence at the purported address was 'virtually nonexistent,' leading to the invalidation of his documents required for ballot access. This decision could prompt similar challenges in other states. Despite this setback, Kennedy will remain on the North Carolina presidential ballot, as ruled by another judge.
