RFK Jr. files new petition in Nevada amid legal battle over ballot access
SUMMARY
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has filed a new petition with the Nevada Secretary of State’s office after facing a setback that invalidated his previous signatures due to not listing a vice-presidential candidate. The independent candidate’s campaign, now including running mate Nicole Shanahan, has until July 5 to gather about 10,000 new signatures. This follows a lawsuit Kennedy filed against the office, claiming the initial disqualification was unfair. Despite a staffer’s incorrect guidance in March, Nevada’s requirement for a VP pick on petitions has been in place since 1993. The Secretary of State's office is prepared to defend its position in court.
