RFK Jr. disqualified from New York ballot, used 'sham' address for residency, judge rules

A New York judge ruled Monday that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name should not appear on the state's ballot, declaring he's not a resident there.

Ryba wrote in the decision that Kennedy’s designation of 84 Croton Lake Road in Westchester County as his place of residence "was a false statement requiring invalidation of the petition." Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.

"Using a friend’s address for political and voting purposes, while barely stepping foot on the premises, does not equate to residency under the Election Law," the judge wrote. "To hold otherwise would establish a dangerous precedent and open the door to the fraud and political mischief that the Election Law residency rules were designed to prevent."
