Kennedy's Ballot Access Battle

Kennedy's attempt to secure a spot on New York's presidential ballot has been thwarted by a recent court ruling that declared his nominating petition invalid. The judge determined that the address Kennedy listed did not fulfill New York's strict residency requirements, as it was merely a temporary arrangement with a friend rather than his permanent home. This decision emphasizes the importance of adhering to state election laws, which mandate that candidates must demonstrate a bona fide residence. Consequently, Kennedy is now unable to refile as the deadline has passed, leaving him off the ballot in November if the ruling remains in effect.
