CNN — The outside group supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential bid has gathered enough signatures to qualify Kennedy to appear on the ballot in two key battleground states in November, the group announced on Tuesday.
American Values 2024 said in a news release they have gathered the necessary signatures to secure ballot access for Kennedy in Arizona and Georgia, two states that helped President Joe Biden defeat former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election by very narrow margins.
“The grassroots energy and momentum give us more confidence than ever in our ability to knock out the remaining states on our list of states quickly,” PAC co-founder Tony Lyons said in a statement on Tuesday.
While Kennedy’s longshot bid is unlikely to garner enough support to win in November, his appearance on the ballot in pivotal swing states could reshuffle the electoral dynamics in a potential rematch between Biden and Trump. Biden defeated Trump by less than half a percentage point in both Arizona and Georgia in the 2020 election.
Kennedy is currently on the ballot in one state, Utah, and his campaign has gathered enough signatures to appear on the ballots in New Hampshire and Hawaii.
A New York Times/Siena College poll from October of registered voters in Arizona found Kennedy earning 26% support, with Biden and Trump earning 33% each. A similar poll of registered voters in Georgia showed Kennedy with 24%, trailing Trump at 36% with Biden at 29%.
The PAC says it will continue to run its own signature gathering operation in ten other states, including Michigan, a battleground state, and others with large signature requirement thresholds like Texas, California and New York.

I will not vote for the man, but I would sign the petition to put him on the ballot
“The Democrats aren’t liking this news one bit.”
If Dems are unhappy, I like it.
That means da Faux Snooze Pole Dancers can declare him the winner before the voting even begins.
There’s a certain irony , in that, the Democrats, who tell us they believe in free and fair elections, prefer to ban certain candidates from election ballots.
The Democratic party is not democratic.
The Democrats are all in on voters making their choices in elections, as long as the only choice is a Democrat.
wondering .... this makes Joe’s defeat more likely but is it enough to :
1) convince Joe to step down
2) convince others likewise if Joe steps down ie. “RFKjr. will draw enough D votes away from me, Gavin Newsom, that GA and AZ are losses. I’ll sit.”
Almost daily I believe more and more that no alt candidates want anything to do with Trump. His Tsunami will drown everyone else.
True that. Just like Planned Parenthood has nothing to do with parenting.
RFK is being used by Deep State as somewhere to stick stolen Trump votes.
I don’t think any conservatives will vote for Kennedy, rhinos possibly yes, but they weren’t voting for Trump anyway
The Democrats are fighting with lawfare to keep RFK Jr. off the ballots.
I think they have run the numbers and know exactly what it means.

I could post one hundred more links like this.
The Democrats actions speak for themselves.
RFK is another contingency plan and a distraction.
The ONLY way to steal a landslide is high tech.
RFK is there to provide low tech cover for another high tech steal.
Elections these days aren’t about who votes.
Elections these days are about who counts the votes.
As I said to another poster today—there is a fine line between legitimate concern and paranoia.
You may have crossed it.
;-)
Conservatives should form a PAC to remind voters of RFK’s extremist abortion and climate positions. This could lure votes away from Biden or whoever the Democrats cough up.
That would be a Lee Atwater move—he was an expert at that sort of stuff.
Great idea.
Keep trying to tell people biden has zero chance at Re-election.
The fact 3rd parties are back in play after covid and dnc bribery keeping them off the ballot in 20.
Not a path that exists for Biden to win, never was
All the pieces are starting to fall into place for a decisive Trump victory.
The concern trolls need to chill out and watch how the professional do their work.
In my job (before I retired) my employer selected teams for the “impossible tasks”.
We got it done—every time.
One of the secrets—find out who thought the job was impossible—and quickly remove them from the team.
It’s not a conspiracy theory.
It’s a spoiler.
And if you’ve been keeping abreast in changes in election laws (not just in the US, BTW) and reportage on what the machines have been wont to do, you already know exactly what talking about.
An oldie but a goodie from 18 years ago...
It was a preview of coming attractions.
