A New York state judge ruled that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. falsely claimed to be a New York resident, disqualifying him from appearing on the state’s presidential ballot.
The decision was based on evidence that Kennedy’s physical presence at his claimed New York residence was virtually nonexistent.
Kennedy plans to appeal the ruling, which has sparked a debate about the fairness of the decision and its implications for his candidacy.
The ruling could lead to challenges in other states where he has sought ballot access.
