RFK Jr. Disqualified From New York State Presidential Ballot
RFK Jr. Disqualified From New York State Presidential Ballot
The Facts
New York Supreme Court Justice Christina Ryba ruled on Monday that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. falsely claimed to be a New York resident in his nominating petitions, barring him from the state's presidential ballot.
This comes as RFK Jr. was found to have used a "sham" address belonging to a friend in Katonah, Westchester County, as his "place of residence" for political and voting purposes in a lawsuit backed by the Democratic-aligned Clear Choice Action.
The Spin
Kennedy had no particular reason not to declare his actual legal residence, given that he has lived in California with his wife for a decade. However, he decided to commit voter fraud for years voting in New York as if his residence was the bedroom in a friend's house — and outrageously doubled down on this lie to get on the presidential ballot.
gopDemocrats are desperate that RFK Jr. may take votes that could cost Vice Pres. Kamala Harris the presidential election, so they have yet again resorted to lawfare against a political opponent months after their failed attempts to block Trump from the ballot in several states. They simply don't care about democracy, just about to keep in power.
