Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign plans to sue Nevada, claiming Democratic Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar concocted new signature rules to prevent independent presidential candidates from appearing on the state’s ballot. I’m threatening you.
Monday press release Kennedy’s campaign argued that the signatures collected could not be used because Kennedy had not nominated a vice president, and accused the Democratic National Committee of trying to “nullify” the presidential election.
“Only a week after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that he had collected all the signatures needed to get on the ballot in Nevada, the Democratic National Committee hired an entire team dedicated to keeping him off the ballot nationwide. It was reported that.”
The campaign said Aguilar is “in a desperate attempt to invalidate the campaign’s signatures in the state.”
of new york post According to reports, since 1993, Nevada law requires independent candidates to select a vice president before collecting signatures for ballot access. Mr. Kennedy may be forced to start from scratch, collecting more than 10,000 signatures.
Paul Rossi, a ballot access attorney for the Kennedy campaign, called the move “a classic example of corruption.”
“After successfully gathering all the required signatures in Nevada, a team of rogues at the Democratic National Committee and their minions at the Nevada Secretary of State’s office completely concocted new requirements for petitions with zero legal basis. “Nevada law does not require a vice president to serve as vice president.” “The petition does not even have a space for a vice president. On November 14, the state announced that the petition does not require a vice president. “On January 25th, the state approved our petition in writing, which does not include the vice president,” Rossi explained.
“This attack on the democratic rights and freedom of millions of Americans in Nevada to vote for independent candidates embodies the corruption and depravity that has come to define the Democratic Party,” he added.
Rossi accused the DNC of trying to rig the election against Kennedy, similar to the 2016 primary against Bernie Sanders.
“This is the party that canceled its own primaries in multiple states this year and declared Biden the winner without voting,” Rossi continued. “The DNC is spending millions of dollars in a desperate attempt to keep Kennedy off the ballot because they can’t defeat us in a fair election. They can’t face us in a contest of ideas. .These are the last days of the political party they once represented.”
The campaign press release is Email Correspondence with the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office. When asked if the vice presidential candidate must be listed on the petition, the employee said, “No.”
The office acknowledged that its staff provided false information to the Kennedy campaign. CBS News report.
In a statement to the press, the Secretary of State’s Office said: “Earlier today, the office was informed that the Secretary of State’s staff had provided inaccurate guidance to an independent presidential campaign. This was incorrect. We have and will continue to do so in the future.” The initial error and subsequent legal guidance were in no way intended to benefit or harm any political party or political candidate. ”
“When a government agency communicates with the public and answers questions that are unclear or inaccurate, Nevada courts will honor the agency’s statements if they follow them. We have made it clear that this is not allowed.”[s] This would be a violation of the law,” the statement added.
Kennedy’s campaign asked a federal judge to resolve the dispute with Nevada’s secretary of state.
