Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. isn’t a resident of New York and will not appear on the Empire State’s ballot, a lower court in Albany ruled.
In a decision released late Monday, Justice Christina L. Ryba ordered Kennedy, 70, to not appear on New York’s presidential ballot, a move that will likely lead to efforts to remove him from other states’ ballots as well.
“Kennedy’s designation of the 84 Croton Lake Road address as his ‘place of residence’ was a false statement requiring invalidation of the petition,” Ryba wrote.
The Democratic-backed lawsuit argued that Kennedy was a resident of California despite listing a Westchester County home where he only stayed once as his address in election filings.
