Judge Rules That Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Cannot Appear on New York Ballot

The ruling was a blow to Mr. Kennedy’s independent campaign for president. The judge said that he had used a “sham” address to claim residency in New York.

Picking a Presidential and Vice Presidential candidate from the same state, and trying to cover it up with a sham address is the kind of thing brain worms make you do.

    Hell yeah, 12th amendment case! Maybe we’ll get a 3rd amendment case too in the near future.

    whats the reasoning that pres and vp can’t be from the same state and share electoral votes?

      It prevents geographic monopolization of power, so that there isn’t one all-powerful state. Written into the original Constitution and modified somewhat by the 12th amendment.
