HARRISBURG (AP) – A newly filed legal challenge seeks to have presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. kept off PA’s November ballot. It’s an effort with ramifications for the hotly contested swing-state. The petition argues that the nominating papers filed by Kennedy and his running mate “demonstrate, at best, a fundamental disregard” of state law and the process by which signatures are gathered. Kennedy faces legal challenges over ballot access in several states. Kennedy’s lawyer says he’s confident he will be on the PA ballot. Two separate challenges were also filed in PA to the nominating papers for the Party for Socialism and Liberation presidential candidate Claudia De la Cruz, and an effort was filed seeking to have Constitution Party presidential candidate James Clymer kept off the state’s ballot as well.
