After having been shut out of the election season’s first presidential debate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to advance in his quest to get ballot access in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The independent presidential candidate is gaining ballot access in some states by seeking and gaining the nomination of third parties, which has drawn the attention of Democrats who view his candidacy as a serious threat.

Last week, two voters filed a lawsuit in Nevada alleging that Mr. Kennedy must be registered without a political party affiliation to run as an independent in the state.
