Just in case you didn’t hear it last night:
Robert Kennedy, Jr. will not be on the ballot in New York come election day.
According to the Associated Press: “Judge Christina Ryba concluded in her 34-page decision that the rented bedroom Kennedy claimed as his residence in New York wasn’t a “bona fide and legitimate residence, but merely a ‘sham’ address that he assumed for the purpose of maintaining his voter registration” and furthering his political candidacy.”
Kennedy said he’ll appeal, but he’s pretty much unappealing at this point. Kennedy is a resident of Los Angeles, where he’s lived for years since marrying actress Cheryl Hines.
The AP: “Ryba said evidence submitted in trial showed Kennedy had a “long-standing pattern” of borrowing addresses from friends and relatives so he could maintain his voter registration in New York state.”
“Using a friend’s address for political and voting purposes, while barely stepping foot on the premises, does not equate to residency under the Election Law,” the judge wrote. “To hold otherwise would establish a dangerous precedent and open the door to the fraud and political mischief that the Election Law residency rules were designed to prevent.”
Meantime, remember Kennedy’s 30 year old son, Conor? He’s the one who dated Taylor Swift while he was in high school. Conor, who’s 30, is one year out of Georgetown Law School. He works for a class action law firm in Los Angeles. Yesterday he announced his engagement to a Brazilian pop star hottie. They have matching tattoos. On Instagram, he identifies as the King of Madagascar.
