RFK Jr., on march to get on the ballot as an independent, flirts with Libertarian Party
ABC News
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is fighting to get on states' ballots and dispel rumors he is running to help elect former President Donald Trump.
LAS VEGAS -- Attendees of a Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. rally over the weekend in Las Vegas were met at the doors by people with clipboards soliciting signatures to get the independent presidential candidate on the Nevada ballot.
Anyone going to an upcoming Kennedy event should expect the same.
As an independent candidate, which he became when he defected from the Democratic Party in October, Kennedy is not guaranteed a spot on any state's ballot, forcing volunteers to gather signatures from ordinary Americans on street corners and college campuses, among other public places -- and at Kennedy's own events.
It is a meticulous process made more difficult by each state's unique minimum-signature requirements and windows for obtaining the signatures.
