Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told reporters in Los Angeles that he can’t vote in any US state after a court ruling determining he had no legal residence.
Kennedy said he is in a “very strange position.”
“I’m in a very strange position because when I ran for president, the Democratic Party sued me, first to get me off the ballot in 12 states, including New York and California,” Kennedy said. “And then when I endorsed President Trump, they sued me to keep me on the ballot in those same States. And so I’m in a dilemma where I literally have no state where I can legally vote right now,”w Kennedy said.
“I’m probably the only person in the country who’s a legal citizen who has that dilemma but I’m still trying to figure it out before the next election.”
This traces back to his 2024 independent presidential campaign when New York judge Christina Ryba removed Kennedy from the state’s presidential ballot after ruling that the address he listed as his home on his nominating petitions was a “sham.”
A Democrat-aligned PAC called Clear Choice Action brought the lawsuit. Kennedy testified that he rented a room for $500 a month in Kahtona, New York, in the home of a longtime family friend, Barbara Moss. He acknowledged that he only spent one night there on the campaign trail.
He relocated to California in 2015 after marrying actor Cheryl Hines.
Judge Ryba rejected Kennedy’s account. She concluded the room was not a “bona fide and legitimate residence,” but a “sham.”
Kennedy appealed the ruling, but the appeal failed, and the Supreme Court refused to intervene. In January 2025, the progressive watchdog group, Accountable.US, filed a complaint alleging voter fraud by Kennedy because he voted from Kahtona.
That is what provided the basis for the ruling that he has no address and no place to vote. Democrats brought in millions of people from other countries that don’t belong here and they’ve suggested they vote, but they don’t want Robert F Kennedy to vote. That’s the story. Democrats will go to any extreme to cause problems like this.
