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.

From what I understand he still owns his home in NY. And pays state taxes in NY. Not in California where his wife is from. He also has a residence in CA but has always considered NY(where he is from) as his home state. The democrats play very dirty. They don’t want him drawing votes away form the evil queen. NY judges are fully corrupt.
She owns a house and lives/lived there. He didn’t.
Sounds like election interference to me
He lied on state elections paperwork.
I’m guessing that you're a neverMAGA NeverTrumper that got a thrill up your leg when you saw this article, Coronal.
And that you couldn't wait to rush here to post it, like all the other "bad news for MAGA" articles that you've enjoyed posting over your years here...
The irony.
His dad claimed NYC as his residence when he ran for Senate.
It was vague but was allowed.
“He’s not ‘their kind’ of Kennedy.”
he’s EXACTLY their kind of kennedy, which is why they’re terrified of him: he’ll pull massive numbers of votes away from Democrats who can’t stomach voting for a blithering idiot like kamalaladingdong ...
I don’t know; I think he’s too weird even for Democrats.
I used to think that he’d pull lots of Black votes, just because of his name; but I don’t even think that anymore.
We must destroy democracy to save it
SO Ineligible Harris can’t appear on the ballots of 49 states!
wonderful!!
Actually, he’s probably taking more votes from Trump. I hope that this spreads to other states, and he has to leave the race.
Check her basement for missing kids.
Being a democrat means never having to say you are sorry.
“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”
That is how scared the Democrats are that Trump will win NY.
This tells you 100% that RFK is taking votes away from Cackles.
Well he’s off the ranch so to speak…..
