Overview

• Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has asked the Supreme Court to reinstate his name on New York’s presidential ballot after being removed for residency issues.
• Kennedy suspended his independent campaign in August and endorsed Donald Trump, aiming to withdraw from battleground state ballots but remain in others.
• Lower courts ruled that Kennedy falsely claimed a New York address as his primary residence, leading to his disqualification.
• Kennedy's legal team argues that the residency requirement places an undue burden on voters and violates his constitutional rights.
• Justice Sonia Sotomayor has requested responses from New York election officials by Wednesday afternoon regarding Kennedy's emergency appeal.
