Judge Rules RFK Jr. Is Ineligible on New York Ballot, And May Have Impacts in Other States

Democrats have been trying to bury Robert F. Kennedy Jr. since he announced his candidacy for president. They refused to let him debate Joe Biden last year, forcing him to run as an independent. Kennedy had gained enough support among liberal voters, that it was jeopardizing Biden’s election chances. Now, with Kamala taking Biden’s nomination, RFK still poses a threat to Democrats’ stranglehold on the country.

So, it comes as no surprise that they have waged a smear campaign against the independent politician.

The media spread tarnishing stories to misrepresent RFK’s character. It’s clear the left has no qualms about blasting this man, out of fear that he’ll hurt Kammy’s chances in November. Now, they are once again resorting to activist judges to undermine the will of the people and protect Democrats’ interests.

From Fox News:
Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s longshot bid for president has become even more unlikely after a judge ruled on Monday that his name should not appear on New York’s ballot after he falsely claimed a residence in the state on nominating petitions, despite living in California…

If the judge’s decision is upheld, it would keep Kennedy off the ballot in New York but could also lead to challenges in other states where he used an address in New York City’s suburbs to gather signatures.

The Sham Address That Sank the Ship

In a political twist that no one saw coming, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent bid for the presidency has hit a massive roadblock. A New York judge dropped the hammer on Monday, ruling that Kennedy’s name should be removed from the state’s ballot. The reason? A false claim of residency that has many wondering if this could be the final nail in the coffin for his already long shot campaign.

Let’s break it down. Kennedy, who’s been trying to carve out his own path to the White House, listed a rented bedroom in Westchester County as his New York residence on his nominating petitions. Sounds legit, right? Well, not quite. Justice Christina L. Ryba wasn’t buying it. In her 34-page ruling, she didn’t mince words, calling the address a “sham” and blasting Kennedy for using it to maintain his voter registration in New York while actually living it up in sunny California.

Ryba’s decision was as clear as it was damning: Kennedy’s use of the Croton Lake Road address was nothing more than a ploy to further his political ambitions. And, as Ryba pointed out, allowing such tactics would set a “dangerous precedent” and open the door to all sorts of electoral shenanigans. In other words, Kennedy’s bid to stay on the New York ballot just went up in smoke.

The Fallout: More Than Just New York

But here’s the kicker—this ruling isn’t just about New York. If upheld, it could trigger a domino effect, leading to similar challenges in other states where Kennedy has used the same bogus address. And that’s a big problem for a candidate who’s already polling at a mere 5% in key swing states.

Kennedy, of course, isn’t taking this lying down. He’s vowed to appeal the ruling, dismissing it as a partisan attack by Democrats who, in his words, are “showing contempt for democracy.” According to Kennedy, the ruling is just another example of the DNC using “lawfare” to undermine his campaign. But with the judge’s ruling now public, Kennedy’s protestations are starting to sound more like desperate damage control than a credible defense.

Protecting Kamala?

Democrats wouldn’t be going after Kennedy so hard if he was a threat to Donald Trump. But Democrats’ 2024 chances are shaky at best. She took Biden’s nomination without a public process. She is stupid and incompetent; a person like Kennedy can easily take votes from her. So, liberals are trying to shut down his chances of appearing on the ballot just to protect their pathetic candidate.

Key Takeaways:

  • RFK Jr.’s campaign takes a hit after a judge ruled he used a “sham” address to get on the New York ballot.
  • The ruling could lead to challenges in other states, further jeopardizing his presidential bid.
  • Kennedy vows to appeal but faces an uphill battle as his campaign loses momentum.
