RFK Jr. appeals ruling that knocked him off New York's presidential election ballot
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A lawyer for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. asked a state appeals court Wednesday to restore him to New York’s presidential election ballot, even though he has suspended his campaign. A state judge knocked Kennedy off the state’s ballot earlier this month, ruling that he had falsely claimed to live in New York on his nominating petitions, despite actually living in California. Kennedy suspended his campaign less than two weeks later and endorsed Republican Donald Trump. Kennedy began withdrawing his name from the ballot in states where the presidential race is expected to be close, including Maine, where election officials said Wednesday that he met a deadline to withdraw from the ballot. He has asked supporters to continue to back him elsewhere, however.
