Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hit with ballot access lawsuit in Pennsylvania amid other challenges in New York, Illinois

Clear Choice Action, a Democrat-aligned super PAC aiming to hinder third-party presidential candidates, filed a lawsuit Thursday to keep Robert F. Kennedy Jr. off the ballot in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.

Kennedy is also facing challenges from the same super PAC in New York and Illinois. In New York, the PAC claims that Kennedy's state nominating petition falsely listed a residence in New York City's affluent northern suburbs, while he has in fact lived in the Los Angeles area since 2014. Kennedy testified in court Tuesday to dispute the lawsuit. In Illinois, the PAC filed an objection against his nominating petition. The matter is scheduled to be reviewed by the Illinois State Board of Elections on Aug. 23.

According to the PAC's Pennsylvania petition, Kennedy falsified his home address on state paperwork, and the group argues that several pages of petition signatures should be disregarded because of "irregularities" with signatures. The super PAC also contends that Pennsylvania law required Kennedy to submit more signatures than he gathered. Kennedy's campaign announced in June that it had submitted more than 9,000 signatures to the swing state, nearly double the required amount.
