Legal challenge seeks to prevent RFK Jr. from appearing on Pennsylvania's presidential ballot
A newly filed legal challenge seeks to have third-party presidential candidate Robert F
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A legal challenge filed Thursday seeks to have third-party presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. kept off Pennsylvania's fall ballot, an effort with ramifications for the hotly contested swing-state battle between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris.
The petition argues the nominating papers filed by Kennedy and his running mate “demonstrate, at best, a fundamental disregard” of state law and the process by which signatures are gathered.
It claims Kennedy's paperwork includes “numerous ineligible signatures and defects" and that documents are torn, taped over and contain “handwriting patterns and corrections suggestive that the indicated voters did not sign those sheets.”
Kennedy faces legal challenges over ballot access in several states.
