Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been disqualified from appearing on New York's general election ballot due to falsely claiming residency in the state, but remains on the ballot in North Carolina and several other states. However, his ballot access may face legal challenges in some states.
Kennedy's campaign is working to ensure ballot access in several states through legal action. While confirmed on the ballot in 15 states, he may still face legal challenges in states like New Jersey and North Carolina, where he plans to appeal the decision allowing his name on the ballot.
The Democratic Party accused Kennedy's campaign of using the "We the People" party to bypass requirements for independent candidates. However, a judge in North Carolina disagreed and ruled that removing "We the People" from the ballot would infringe on voters' First Amendment rights.
Kennedy claims he will have ballot access in 46 states, representing 329 electoral votes. However, the state board upheld a challenge against independent candidate Cornel West's party, the Justice for All Party.
