RFK Jr. denied ballot access in New York after judge rules his petition invalid
The judge accepted the arguments made by Democratic voters and supported by Clear Choice PAC, a group seeking to combat third party candidates, which claimed Kennedy violated state law by listing a New York address as his residence on the petition despite living in California.
This comes as Kennedy also faces ballot challenges in other states. Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows’ office said Monday that Kennedy and Cornel West are facing objections to their ballot access petitions in her state.
In response to the judge's ruling, Democratic supporters are now rallying behind Clear Choice PAC's politics to further challenge Kennedy's eligibility in various states. Despite the objections in Maine, Kennedy continues to engage in intense politics to defend his ballot access.
