ALBANY, NY—AUGUST 12, 2024—Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. today condemned the openly partisan ruling by Albany County Superior Court Judge Christina L. Ryba, a Democrat, against his Residence in New York and said he will win on appeal.
The ruling came despite the fact that Kennedy is registered to vote in New York, New York has been his primary residence since 1964, pays taxes in New York, has a New York driver's license, his legal license and his practice legal is in New York, and his falconry license and other recreational licenses are in New York.
“Democrats show contempt for democracy” Kennedy said. “They're not confident they can win at the polls, so they're trying to prevent voters from having a choice. We're going to appeal and we're going to win.”
Judge Ryba openly told the court that she refused to consider the constitutionality of New York's residency requirement under the 12th Amendment.
“The 12th Amendment to the US Constitution governs the residency of presidential and vice presidential candidates, not state law.” said Paul Rossi, senior campaign adviser. “We intend to seek injunctive relief in the Southern District of New York. If state court judges are going to ignore the Constitution, the federal courts must step in to protect voters' rights.”
The New York State Board of Elections confirmed Last month, the Kennedy campaign submitted 108,680 valid signatures to get on the ballot, more than double the 45,000 required. a record number of signatures from New Yorkers.
“This case is an assault on New York voters who signed in record numbers to place me on their ballot.” Kennedy said. “The DNC has become a party that uses the law instead of the democratic election process.”
Kennedy has received more than 1 million signatures put him on the ballot nationwide, more than any candidate in US history.
Kennedy announced last week that the campaign has collected enough signatures to get on the ballot all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The Kennedy campaign has won all access to the polls legal challenge throughout the country, including a Hawaii, Idaho, New Jersey, North Carolina, i Utah.
