When voters in New York state head to the polls Nov. 5, there may be one less candidate on the ballot.
That’s because Judge Christina Ryba ruled Monday that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. falsely said he lived in the state on nominating petitions. This, therefore, renders those documents invalid.
Kennedy vowed to appeal the ruling in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
“This case is an assault on New York voters who signed in record numbers to place me on their ballot,” Kennedy wrote. “The DNC has become a party that uses lawfare in place of the democratic election process. We will appeal and we will win.”
If the ruling stands, other states may challenge Kennedy’s appearance on their ballots since Kennedy used the same New York address to get signatures, per the Associated Press.
The lawsuit was backed by a Democrat-aligned political action committee.
The committee asserts Kennedy lives in California not Katonah, New York, as he claims.
Kennedy has lived in the Los Angeles area since he married “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actress Cheryl Hines, who he married in 2014.
During the trial, Kennedy claimed he intends move back to New York.
