RFK Jr. Ballot Access Efforts
RFK Jr. is officially on one state ballot in Utah, but his campaign is actively gathering signatures in seven other states, such as New Hampshire, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada. The Nevada situation has hit a hurdle due to naming the vice presidential candidate on petition papers, leading to complications. However, RFK Jr.'s significant funding and name recognition may help him secure access on most, if not all, state ballots by the election.
