After being removed from the New York ballot by lower courts, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is asking the Supreme Court to step in and help him out.

The former presidential candidate was reportedly removed from the ballots after it was determined that his Katonah, NY address was not his permanent place of residency, despite claiming he was a resident of the state. Court filings indicate that Kennedy had rented a room in a childhood friend’s home and he claims that he had spent at least one night there. To that end, his lawyers also pointed out that lower courts “did not find that anyone was misled,” and claimed that is it “entirely immaterial” in any case.

“The address on Kennedy’s petition was and is entirely immaterial — both to voters and to New York,” the lawyers claimed, saying that removing Kennedy from the ballot was a disservice to voters.

The request was brought forth by Kennedy-backing super PAC American Values 2024 and has gone before Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who handles all incoming emergency appeals for New York. She has reportedly asked New York Attorney General Letitia James and others to respond in writing by Wednesday.

Kennedy has already suspended his campaign and opted to back former President Donald Trump, a move that has resulted in him pulling his name from the ballot in some swing states while keeping it on in others.

It remains to be seen if he will be allowed to restore his name on the New York ballot, which could pull voters from Vice President Kamala Harris and give Trump a slight bump on election night.
