NextImg:Supreme Court refuses RFK Jr.’s request to be on New York’s ballot

The Supreme Court on Friday refused Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s request to be put on New York’s presidential ballot. 

The emergency request was denied without comment. 

Mr. Kennedy was disqualified from the ballot in August after a judge ruled that he falsely claimed he lived in New York while residing in California. 

His attempts to have that ruling reversed have been rejected by lower courts.

Mr. Kennedy suspended his presidential campaign in August and endorsed former President Donald Trump. He has said he will try to get his name removed from ballots in battleground states so as not to hurt Mr. Trump’s chances of winning the White House. But he wants to stay on the ballot in blue states, such as New York.

He’s been mostly successful in getting off ballots in critical swing states, but so far courts have ordered he can’t remove his name in Michigan and Wisconsin. 

This was not the first time the Supreme Court has refused to order a state to include a candidate. 

Last week, the justices declined Green Party candidate Jill Stein’s bid to be placed on Nevada’s ballot.
