Didn't a judge actually kick him off the ballot? And you, yourselves, have said that his eligibility to run for President doesn't depend on which state he lives in. So why was he kicked off the ballot, then?
@@vicariousjohnson9823 Actually, they require that he be domiciled in NY, which is the actual legal standard, not residence, which is slightly different. If he does not meat the requirements for the ballot, then by law, they are illegally taxing a non-resident.
No actually it's exactly what it tolerates... because democracy is totalitarianism. This is why the last thing the founding fathers wanted was this country to be a democracy, because democracy always becomes a dictatorship, which is what we have today world wide. This is why they came up with the constitutional republic.
@@alostcause4035he never lied. He pays income tax in the state, his law firm is in the state. His driver’s, falconry, hunting, fishing licenses are all in New York. It’s blatant weaponization of the court system by the DNC because they know they can’t win fair and square.
Par for the course. There are actually focus groups and marketing professionals whose job it is to come up with cool names for bills, agendas, programs, and propaganda organizations. The expectation is that when you name something, it converts a small percentage of bobbleheads and can make a difference when people voice their support or vote. Who could possibly be against "The Clean Air Act', The Patriot Act, The Inflation Reduction Act, Save the Children, or Clear Choice? Sounds a hella lot better than Bill HR247 or the DNC Propaganda Department.

He would pull more from Democrats in NY. RFK Jr has a long history of not only cleaning up the Hudson and put major corporations on their heels. He also stopped a landfill in a high residential community. People love and respect all the years of litigation and community support he has given the NY people.
It is not about RFK jr. in generally. Yes at him. Just blew up off of political opponents. Recently put Tulsi Gabbard on Quiet watch list on plane. WH is like two years old tantum temper.
The democrats do not care about what he accomplished. He's a threat to their power structure and they can't have that while they march towards a one world government.
Mr Kennedy domicile is in NY since childhood. He votes, drivers license, law license, etc. Residency can be anywhere. He’s a New Yorker not a Californian. He has to list his domicile as his state. He’s a New Yorker
@ askmisspatience You would think that a man as well off as RFK Jr. would have, *at least* , a house in the country or a pied-à-terre (apartment) in NYC and have hired someone to pick up the mail, clean it, trim the lawn, etc.
@@here_we_go_again2571 when this is currently what he has? And it’s been a great set up until the partisan person kicked him out and he found another person in the same area who welcomed him gladly. He already has someone collecting mail and a place he considers his domicile. Who does collect mail and maintain his room. Seems a wise use of funds and it’s near where he loves most since childhood. And, where he will retire when his wife finishes in Cali with her acting there. I have a similar situation, so maybe this will help make sense of how this works … I’m a native of NYC and upstate. Currently own property in the Midwest for business where I domicile. When I’m in NY have permanent arrangements that include a place to stay as needed. I happen to reside in several states. Set up domicile in the middle of the country for a better cost of living, to retire early back in 2015, pursue author goals in publishing and book touring among other goals. Part of my consideration was cost of living in NY. Why domicile there when it’s crazy expensive? When I can reside there for very little? If I domicile where I do it’s way less expensive and I’ve got a lot of excess cash to pursue goals. But, I can reside in NY upstate where I have a permanent room and place, as needed, when I reside there. This includes the west coast and another Midwest state where I also reside. These resident locations are set up for long term goals to help with book touring, interviewing authors, etc. plus, central around friends and family who live there making maintaining relationships IRL around the country fun and simple. RV folks, professionals like musicians, military, etc and snow birds or people who domicile and live up north but go down south for many months each year do this, too. I use to house sit for a dude that had to be in Japan six months of the year to maintain his tax status. So, I resided at his house part time but maintained an apartment, too. There’s so many scenarios. From my understanding, Mr Kennedy domiciled in NY most of this life. Upon lawyer counsel had to use NY to run for president as this is his domicile state. Doesn’t matter where he resides. As a candidate must use the same address. So, there’s no way to put a different residence. He had a place he would stay with friends who was also his listed address. They got ticked when he ran for prez and ditched the democrat party. This is how it got messy. But, he did find another place. And, switched all domicile info. Due to the change they added rent. The previous place was friends saying sure and this ain’t uncommon when people domicile while residing elsewhere. It’s legal. Technically, the homeowner would be the landlord. But informally don’t use this term. Not uncommon among domicile folk. This whole thing is ridiculous. Political grandstanding. Mr Kennedy, like all Americans has the right to domicile in NY or anyplace. The fact NY pulled this BS saying nope sets a residence to challenge all other domicile folk. When before it was simple. This is based on my experience and many people who I know that use domicile and residence. Hope this helps explain my understanding and answer why he doesn’t need to waste money with unnecessary expenses. Based on the court case it is obvious not a lot of people understand the difference between domicile and residence. Learning this was a game changer for me. Hope other people, too :)

I’m an expat (30 years) but my voter registration is still maintained in California which I consider my home state. If I can vote while not even living in the country, it makes no sense whatsoever, that an address in New York is the only factor to keeping RFK, Jr. off the ballot. All devious nonsense.
THANK YOU for pointing out this important point. Does this mean New York state is going to invalidate all the mail-in ballots of expats, including all those that vote for Harris? Of course not.
Yes, but not as sick as a JUDGE ruling in their favor. You can unfortunately expect the Party to do what it can get away with, but the responsibility of the JUDGE is to apply the law and not put the Party above all else. There's simply no theory other than a convenient and irrelevant technicality [if that] which dictates her ruling should have come down this way in order to preserve the law and democracy. It's the 'you ran the stop sign because you didn't come to a full 3-second stop before proceeding' idiocy.
I’m voting for RFK Jr! I hope he wins but fighting the system is an uphill battle. I don’t care if I have to write him in, I’m still voting for him!!! 🇺🇸
He has no chance of winning unfortunately, but it would be great if he would join with Trump and oversee the NIH or something that he’s passionate about.
But I thought Democrats were for democracy? Are they afraid of the people's voice? Denying a person a place on the ballot because they are afraid of that candidate is undemocratic.
Thanks dirty tricks Left.. the plan is coming together to cheat to keep the power and its going like clockwork! Since its an existential threat, anything goes!! WINNING by DESTROYING!

@@pwetty4r4 I don't recall the GOP filing any grievances against RFK, and certainly not on this level of trying to wipe him off the ballot. Dems however, have been trying to kick everyone but the Dem off the ballot in numerous states. This isn't a 'but both sides' issue. Try again.
@@Papadoc1000 There really is only one side guilty of election interference and corruption, we've already seen that time and time again, and it's NOT the DNC. Court records don't lie.

He's registered to vote in California and has voted as such. He lied about his residence to get on the ballot. The judge didn't even have to review the fake signatures accusation, this is election 101.
It's not that simple. You don't get to remain legally domiciled in your state of birth or state of choice forever, just because you're too lazy to report that you have physically moved. He's an attorney. He should understand residency and domicile laws well enough, to keep a clear and correct residential address on his paperwork. Everything from driver's license to bank accounts (to comply with KYC) to tax filings to voter registration to candidacy petitions, should state your correct, actual address. Not some address chosen for convenience, tax, political, or other reasons. Sorry, but especially for a lawyer, not complying with the law, matters. Having said that, you'd think no Democrat would sue to get him removed from any ballots in any states. It's pretty well shown in polling, that he takes more votes from Trump than from Harris, especially from anti-vaxxers who don't like that Trump got vaxxed and was pushing it until his base pushed back, then he shut up about it and just quietly got his own shots.
@@EfficientRVer If RFK didn't pay NY taxes and the state took him to court, I'm sure the judge would have ruled he has an NY domicile. So, yes, it's not that simple.
This lawsuit was inevitable. If he had said his residence was in California, because he was living there, the DNC PAC would have sued on the grounds that his drivers license, voters registration, falconry license, law license, and rental home was in NY. This entire lawsuit is nonsense, and I hope he wins on appeal.
Exactly. The Clear Choice PAC (such an ironic name) was established a little over a year ago specifically to fight RFK Jr's ballot access. Dem loyalists are conveniently forgetting that Hillary had no history of living in New York when she hurriedly purchased a home for the sole purpose of running for the U.S. Senate seat to represent the people of NY. And expats who have been away from the state for 20 or 30 years with no obligation to return are voting on the NY ballot. Are they going to invalidate those votes too?
Me and all of my friends that were democrats have all switched party's. We worked way to hard to have all of our cap gains to be erased because 50% of this country insists on giving it to outsiders.
Yeah, if Kennedy cared about what is happening to our Country because of these crazy progressive lunatics, who want to mutilate our children, he would have a news conference with Trump and support him for the Presidency. That would be awesome! Kennedy’s expertise on big pharma and vaccine issues would be very much needed in the new administration…Trump would welcome the input he could bring. The dems have no use for Kennedy…he should have no use for them.
RFKjr. has been a N.Y. state registered voter, has had a NY driver's license all his adult life. His car is registered in NY, his law firm is based in NY., he pays NY income taxes. NY law says you can retain your residency even if you have other residences as long as you intend to return. This is using the courts to subvert democracy. If the higher court overturns this I hope he takes his law firm and income taxes to another state. And sue the snowbirds for retaining NY residency as well.
Thank you for addressing what NY law says about residency. Also, if the higher court agrees with the lower court, they also need to invalidate all the votes of expats, including the ones voting for Dems. ( I do not support excluding expats from voting, but it exposes the flaw in their "logic" that anyone claiming residency for election purposes must have a physical address they actually use.)
@@Papadoc1000 We will have to wait and see. The bigger this gets, the more it will come under the microscope of the public. The DNC's prosecution/persecution of Trump backfired and the same could happen with this. Besides, there is always the Supreme Court if all else fails.
The names of the individuals who filed this should be named, made public and shunned and shamed for their corruption of voters choice, and law warfare.... Judges who ruled on this to be named and shamed.....
Absolutely wrong! It has nothing to do with Marxism or any other economic system. It's about holding on to the status quo. The uni-party is where the power is, and they both don't want outsiders with unconventional views messing up their power blocks.
Wrong. He listed NY as his residence when he clearly lives in California. They did not even touch on his fake signatures. Everyone knows Trump has promised him a spot on his admin, it has been reported and undisputed by both campaigns.

Thank you for the unbiased news I can imagine what the mainstream media saying about this don't want to watch it probably make me sick. RFK Jr all the way!!!!
People should still write RFK Jr.'s name on the ballot if the appeal doesn't help. His campaign collected 150,000 signatures in 45 days exceeding the required 47,000 signatures which was already a high bar that the Green Party couldn't achieve. The money and time invested by the Democrats to try to bring this trailblazing independent campaign down with this technicality is not only anti-democratic and absurd but very telling of how afraid the Uniparty is right now!
@@alostcause4035he didn’t lie on his application. That is one of his legal residences in NY, and NY is his official state of domicile, which is the state he MUST claim as his residency in most ballot applications. Because he has multiple addresses and lives in multiple states, the DNC was always going to use that against him to get him off the ballot. It’s legal trickery. But according to the letter of the law, he is in the right and will win on appeal. Also, even if the information was incorrect, it is still not fraudulent or misleading as he received legal counsel from multiple lawyers with election expertise - and all told him this was the valid way to fill out this form, even though the DNC was likely to sue him no matter what, because it’s not about him doing things right, it’s about getting him off the ballot - and they were going to seek to do it by any technicality they could find. His retainer of experts in the field protects him from some of the nastier things the corrupt DNC and their paid activists might have tried to do. I’m sorry you think your party is in the right here.

Things like this make it harder to conceive ever to vote as a Democrat. Watch "The Real RFK Jr: Documentary" to see how resilient he has been his whole life. RFK deserves to be on the ballot. .
To be very honest; ive been struggling with whether or not i should vot for RFK. As not much of a Trump fan im not crazy about voting for him, but I WILL NOT vote dem right now. I feel the party has become wildly corrupt and needs to clean itself up before i can resume supporting them. So... looks like ill vote trump unfortunately.
KENNEDY is an INDEPENDENT and he is appealing the decision. It's the Dems who have taken him to court over this, but they will ultimately lose and RFK JR will be on the ballot in all 50 states. NY law says you can claim residency in NY if you live in homes elsewhere as long as you intend to return to NY and RFK JR has always planned to return there which is why he kept his law firm and all his licenses there. Don't settle for an "unfortunate" vote for Trump. Stand firm with RFK Jr who is the only candidate who is on OUR side, not the side of the donor class that controls both parties. Trump will just expand the sw amp again and he chose a VP is mentored by Big Tech mass surveil lance guru Peter Theil. He is just as dangerous as Harris. The only choice that makes sense is KENNEDY. He CAN WIN this election.
If people start believing that he can win, he can win. We need 34% of the vote - we have way more smart people than that in this country. Watch some of his speeches, we can believe what he is saying to us, we know who RFK Jr. is. Watch his speech at the Nixon Library in June, this man is just what we need. Watch his speech at Freedom Fest, he was well received for telling the truth, turns out most Americans just want the truth, sadly lacking from the 2 corporate parties. Kennedy is a liberal addressing conservatives and finding common ground. Brilliant!!
I am more determined than ever to not vote for either of the main two! “The 12th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution governs the residency of presidential and vice presidential candidates, not state law. If state court judges are going to ignore the Constitution, the federal courts must step in to protect voters rights. Judge Ryba openly in court said she REFUSED to consider the constitutionality of the New York residency requirement under the 12th Amendment" This is a direct violation of the United States Constitution, by ONE single Democrat New York Judge.

He was betrayed at every turn in the first term. If you want to vote for RFK Jr. that's your prerogative, but he won't garner enough votes to actually win in any state. That's just a hard cold reality. It comes down to either the Obama 3.0 (4th term 3rd iteration) or Trump, who is proven from his first term. We know what each will mean for us. The difference couldn't be more stark. Maybe RFK Jr. will get a better shot in the future. Maybe the dems will support him, but we know why they aren't. It's the same as why they are so afraid of Trump. These men are outsiders and boat rockers, though different they share the same uncontrolled by the swamp aspect. Unless and until the parties get cleaned up this fight between the establishment and the outside (the people) won't end.
Only ask that he be given a chance to be a candidate that is equally represented in the news for his policies, and able to debate, able to not waste time in court, but out talking with people to let the people make an informed choice. The fact that they don’t want him to be seen or heard, tells it all. If he wasn’t a threat, they woul not be spending so much time and money to stop him.
This is totally absurd. The 12th amendment says you don’t have to live in the state to be a president. The people of the United States have the right to vote for Robert F Kennedy, I want justice or maybe the people should start suing. 2024 Robert F Kennedy 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I heard in some interview that you cannot be from the same state as your VP pick. I don't know if that's true. This morning RFK held an interview where he explained that his ballot attorney advised him he had to register as a NY resident for his candidacy. If he were to register with CA address he would be in trouble for having everything else registered in NY.
Did the Democrats make mistakes on his application, or did he? Maybe it's a sign? If you don't have what it takes to fill out an application correctly, you may not be right for the job.
