He offered evidence of his residency by showing that he pays New York state taxes, has a law practice in the state and has state-issued driver&rsquo;s and falconry licenses. He blasted the judge for siding with Democrats to keep him off the ballot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Democrats are showing contempt for democracy,&rdquo; he said in a statement. &ldquo;They aren&rsquo;t confident they can win at the ballot box, so they are trying to stop voters from having a choice. We will appeal and we will win.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy said his campaign submitted a &ldquo;record&rdquo; 108,680 signatures from voters to get on the state ballot, more than double the 45,000 required. He boasted that his campaign has collected more than 1 million signatures nationwide, &ldquo;more than any candidate in U.S. history.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This case is an assault on New York voters who signed in record numbers to place me on their ballot,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;The DNC has become a party that uses lawfare in place of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dean-phillips-pleads-to-wisconsin-supreme-court-to-be-put-on-the-battleground-states-ballot\/\" title=\"Dean Phillips requests Wisconsin Supreme Court to include him on the battleground state&#039;s ballot\">democratic election process<\/a>.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy, the son of Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy, announced in October that he was ending his campaign as a Democrat and launching an independent bid for the White House.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He vowed to get on the ballot in every state by the end of July, but so far, he&rsquo;s only made it on the ballot in 16 states, including Maine, Utah, Michigan, Delaware, Oklahoma and Tennessee. His campaign says he has collected enough signatures to get on the ballot in 23 other states.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Democrats have filed similar challenges to keep Kennedy off the November ballot amid concerns that he would siphon away votes from Vice President Kamala Harris and act as a &ldquo;spoiler candidate&rdquo; to help Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Last week, a New Jersey judge&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecentersquare.com\/new_jersey\/article_fcf8bae8-54df-11ef-b3ef-33d26c24fa27.html\">ruled<\/a>&nbsp;that Kennedy could appear on the November ballot after rejecting a legal challenge claiming he is disqualified under the state&rsquo;s &lsquo;sore loser&rsquo; law.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Robert Kennedy Jr. is a fraud through and through,&rdquo;&nbsp; Democratic National Committee spokesman Matt Corridoni said in a statement. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s a fraud when he claims to live in NY, despite moving to CA ten years ago.

The ruling by Supreme Court Justice Christina Ryba determined that Kennedy inaccurately claimed a New York residence on his nomination petitions, supporting a challenge from a Democratic-affiliated political action committee regarding his eligibility based on the address he provided. In her 34-page decision, Ryba stated there was &#8220;clear and convincing credible evidence&#8221; that the New York address listed was not Kennedy&#8217;s genuine residence but rather a &#8220;sham&#8221; used to maintain his voter registration and advance his political ambitions in the state. <\/p>\n<p>Kennedy, who is 70 years old, contended in court that despite residing in California with his wife, he has considered New York his primary home for over 60 years. He presented proof of residency including payment of state taxes and possession of professional licenses issued in New York. He criticized the judge for siding with Democrats to exclude him from the ballot, claiming they are undermining democracy because they lack confidence in winning elections fairly. <\/p>\n<p>Kennedy asserted that his campaign gathered an unprecedented 108,680 signatures\u2014more than double what is required\u2014to qualify for the state ballot and claimed over one million signatures nationwide, more than any candidate has ever collected in U.S. history.<\/p>\n<p>He described this legal battle as an attack on voters who supported him and accused the Democratic National Committee (DNC) of resorting to legal tactics instead of allowing democratic processes to unfold. After announcing last October that he would run as an independent after leaving the Democratic race, Kennedy aims to be included on ballots across all states by July; however, he has only succeeded so far in 16 states while claiming sufficient signatures for another 23.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats have raised similar objections against Kennedy\u2019s candidacy due to fears he might draw votes away from Vice President Kamala Harris and inadvertently assist Donald Trump\u2019s campaign as a &#8220;spoiler.&#8221; Recently, a judge in New Jersey ruled that Kennedy could appear on their November ballot after dismissing claims against him under state law regarding disqualified candidates.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the DNC labeled Kennedy as deceptive both about his residency status\u2014asserting he moved to California ten years ago\u2014and about his motivations for running being solely aimed at benefiting Trump<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2324255,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/RFK-Jr-debate.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[7584,5111,37956,5782],"class_list":["post-2324254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-appeal","tag-kennedy","tag-new-york-ballot","tag-ruling"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/RFK-Jr-debate.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2324254"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324254\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2324255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2324254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2324254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2324254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
