A judge ruled on Aug. 12 that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. falsely claimed New York residency on his nominating petitions, a decision that will invalidate his efforts to appear on the state’s general election ballot.
In her 34-page ruling, New York State Supreme Court Justice Christina Ryba wrote that evidence in the trial held last week showed Kennedy had a “long-standing pattern” of using addresses from friends and relatives so he could keep his voter registration in New York while living with his wife in California.
