Independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr does not meet the legal requirement of a New York resident and therefore cannot be on the state’s election ballot, a judge has ruled.
Kennedy’s claim of a New York address as his “place of residence” on nominating petitions was a “false statement”, said Judge Christina Ryba.
“Given the size and appearance of the spare bedroom as shown in the photographs admitted into evidence, the Court finds Kennedy’s testimony that he may return to that bedroom to reside with his wife, family members, multiple pets, and all of his personal belongings to be highly improbable, if not preposterous,” the judge wrote.
As a result, the petitions were considered invalid. Mr Kennedy has rejected the judge’s ruling and vows to appeal.
Invalidating 150,000 petitions on a technicality. Corruption at the highest level. Shameful behavior by ClearChoice and the Democrats.
“Oh no the joke of a candidate who has actual brain worms can’t legally be on the ballot. What a tragedy this is.”
If 150,000 people want Vermin Supreme on the ballot, even if it’s just a protest against the corrupt, two-party system run by corporate interests, he should be on the ballot.
Lying to get around the 12th Amendment in the Constitution is a “technicality”!?
His legal residence is in New York. If he had put some other address, they would be asking “well, why is he paying taxes and voting in NY?”
Right, so you’ve explained why he lied.
If you actually read the article, you would know that the judge based their decision on photographs of a small extra room that he claimed he could return to at any time with his wife, kids, pets, etc . They ruled that the idea was “preposterous, if not impossible”.
Sounds like he’s been voting illegally in NY for some time now. Taxes probably all fucked up too.
He lives in California to be with his wife. His defense is that he is renting a (small) room from a friend in NYC and isn’t even on a lease.
He pays NY taxes because he has a business in NYC. He used his stupid falconry license from NY he had ‘issued’ in NY from since before he moved to California as part of his defense.
Maybe people should not be doing as much fuckery with addresses, etc that they end up being taken to court.
He knew damn well that this was a shell address at best. So claiming this as your primary residence is asking for trouble.
There are plenty of other reasons he could have gotten I to trouble for this…requesting a liquor license for example… and in these cases he would have also been deemed ineligible.
This turd just cose to test the validity of his claim of residence during the most high stakes most scrutinized process in the US. And got slapped down… shocked pickachu face.

Maybe we should stop asking people their residence to get on the ballot. Before you know it people will just start writing in “prison”
Oh no, I guess he’ll never be president now. How sad.
