Why the court decision that Robert Kennedy can't be on the NY ballot may be very important for other states' ballots [View all]
The decision, by Justice Christina L. Ryba, a State Supreme Court judge, could open Mr. Kennedy up to other challenges in states where Mr. Kennedy is on the ballot, because his campaign used the same address to gather signatures in those states. Lis Smith, a strategist for the Democratic National Committee, which has backed some of the challenges to Mr. Kennedy, said in a statement, “We’ll be assessing our options in other states based off of this ruling”

(Kennedy was barred from the NY state ballot because he lied about his residency.)
