If a challenge to his residency in New York State succeeds, it could lead to other big problems for Kennedy.
He's polling at 0% already, can't really get any lower. He has never at any point been a serious contender. He was always intended as a spoiler to try to siphon a few votes away from the actual candidates.
He is waiting for Trump's donors to tell him when he's done. Without the infusion of pro-Trump mega donor money he would have been done ages ago.
In a lawsuit that was engineered by Clear Choice PAC, a super PAC formed earlier this year by political allies of President Joseph Biden to combat independent candidates or third-party efforts that could threaten the Democratic ticket
Fuck RFK and his brainworm-eaten maggoty brain, but keep in mind that Dems want to block any other choice. It's why Bernie ran as a Dem and even then they still worked together to block him. I'm voting KH to prevent the asshole from getting the seat, but Dems are center-right, not Left. People have been brainwashed into thinking it's normal to have a Left party that barely fights for them. Advocate for rank-choice voting and we'll see a lot of Dems get replaced in the election that follows.
Ranked choice is next, the time is ticking on this engineered Overton window. If we get that, we might actually join modern civilization instead of being corporate vassals in a trench coat.
Imagine not having to sit around waiting for another inevitable corporate-backed coup to strip our voting rights away because we have a system strong enough to survive a couple billionaires posting endless lies on Twitter.
After everything they've done to corrupt both parties through lobbyists, funding, and industry plants, it's just a matter of time unless we fix our system to be more resilient against manipulation with things like ranked choice voting.
The only way to prevent billionaires from jorkin' the system, is to make sure the system can't create billionaires. Tax the rich.
"He notes that he is registered to vote at this Katonah address, that his car is registered there, and that he pays New York State income taxes. He adds that he maintains falconry, fishing, and hunting licenses at this address."
The last time I saw residency being an issue was for an Oregon candidate for governor, in his case all that evidence went the OTHER way.
He had been claiming a family farm in Oregon as his residence, but his voter registration, drivers license, and taxes were all in New York. He was bounced off the ballot.
Seems like his car registration and recreational licenses in New York State would be less relevant. And it seems like maintaining voter registration and state income tax status based on his "renting a room in a friend's house in New York State" while he physically resides in California for years is exploiting a loophole at best.
Edit: If you're trying to pretend to officially reside in two different places, fuck you.
Other than dumping a bear just because it is fun, what could possibly keep this guy from office.
