Democrats, others seek to toss Kennedy off November ballot in Georgia and New York
ATLANTA (AP) — Challengers seeking to throw Robert F. Kennedy Jr. off Georgia’s November ballot told a judge on Monday that the independent presidential candidate must be disqualified because the New York address he used on Georgia ballot access petitions is a “sham.” It shows how a decision by a New York court last week finding Kennedy doesn’t live at the address in the New York City suburbs is being used to attack Kennedy’s ballot access in other states. The judge ruled Kennedy shouldn’t appear on New York ballots, but Kennedy is appealing. In New York on Monday, a trial opened in suburban Long Island in another lawsuit challenging Kennedy’s place on the state’s presidential ballot in November. In Georgia, challengers argue that because Kennedy used the New York address, his petitions should be voided.
