Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been disqualified from appearing on New York's general election ballot after a judge ruled Monday that he falsely claimed a New York residence on his nominating petitions, leading to their invalidation.
Judge Christina Ryba ruled that Kennedy's claim of a New York address as his "place of residence" was a "false statement," concluding that it was evident he had no plans to move back to the Empire State and said he only listed the location for political gain. Ryba's ruling is expected to be appealed by the Aug. 15 deadline. If her ruling is upheld, it would bar Kennedy from the New York ballot and potentially spark challenges in other states where he used a New York suburban address to collect signatures.
"The overwhelming credible evidence introduced at trial established that Kennedy's connections with the [New York] address existed only on paper and were maintained for the sole purpose of maintaining his voter registration and political standing in the State of New York," Ryba wrote.
Last week in court, Kennedy testified that he has considered New York his home since childhood and intended to return. He explained that he temporarily moved to California in 2014 to live with his wife and that he is currently renting a room at a woman's home in New York.
Barbara Moss, the woman who owns the home, testified that Kennedy paid her $500 a month for the room. She added that Kennedy had spent only one night at the home and that she received the first rental payment from him on May 20 of this year.

Rules? We don't need no stinking Rules!
Usually the State of New York goes the other way, assuming residency on specious grounds in order to collect more tax money.
“Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been disqualified from appearing on New York’s general election ballot after a judge ruled Monday that he falsely claimed a New York residence on his nominating petitions, leading to their invalidation.”
Amazing. Sixty years ago RFK Jr’s father won his race for the US Senate though he wasn’t not a resident of NY state. Democrats didn’t have a problem with that back then, but now with his son running as an independent and possibly taking a number of votes from Harris, this shouldn’t be a shock to anyone.
She’s probably compromised as a judge. Someone needs to find out if that’s the case and then expose her.
The DNC hates RFK, Jr., and is probably afraid of him, too.
(He’s not ‘their kind’ of Kennedy.)
I’m guessing that his father didn’t claim residency in NY when he wasn’t there.
I’m surprised he doesn’t have a house.
We don’t know their exact financial situation, but it surprises me that a Kennedy would be renting a room for $500 a month in someone’s house, and that is what he claimed as his legal residence.
P
Democrats hate democracy.
She did buy a house. He should have too. Not a difficult requirement especially for the wealthy.
This is Bull$hit!!!
How the hell does he need to be a New York resident to run for PRESIDENT on the New York ballot???
Election interference by corrupt judge!!!
RFK will be on the ballot in NY.
Guaranteed!
“currently renting a room at a woman’s home in New York”
Surely he could do better than this when trying to pretend to be a New York resident.
I gotta admit Revelation 17:3-6 came to mind when I saw that
That is not it of course; but it is what I immediately thought of
Obviously.
Exactly.
When you dump a dead bear cub in a city’s park, you should automatically be granted lifetime residency.
There's your problem.
Notice how just those two words put next to each other look weird and wrong. And unsurprisingly, the girl-bench naturally attracts Stalinist loons more egregiously than the male version.
Because of the infestation of DEI [Divisive, Exclusionary, and Incompetent] they are in effect different institutions with different standards and idiosyncracies.
What this tells me is Kennedy pulls more votes from Kackula.
