The Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Campaign for President announced that it has completed the Independent petition for President in New Hampshire, which is 1,500 valid signatures of registered voters in each of The Granite State’s two Congressional Districts (3,000 total).
It is my understanding that these signatures were gathered at New Hampshire polling places yesterday. This shows how important it is to keep government-mandated non-electioneering areas outside polling places small.
Obviously, the signatures have not been checked yet by the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s office, but I think it is safe to say that the validity rate on these signatures should be very high.
The other state on which he is now on the ballot is Utah.
Axios is FAKE NEWS. Don’t believe it unless you hear from a real news source.

BALLOT ACCESS STATUS
RFK Jr is going to buy up a lot of petitioners to get on the ballot everywhere. This could adversely effect the ability of some minor parties to get on the ballot in the more difficult states. No Labels will probably affect this as well.
This is a case of where it would be better to allow candidates to get on the ballot optionally with filing fees. Then, well funded candidates like RFK Jr, and whoever the No Labels candidate may be, to simply purchase their places on the ballot, thereby freeing up petitioners to other, less well funded candidates.
@AZ,
Quote one whole sentence from ‘Brown’ that supports your position.
@WZ,
Better to require some smaller but more sincere commitment. In person by a 100 voters would do.

It seems like the current tendency is in the opposite direction.
Given that the current tendency is to increase petitioning requirements, compelling more and more candidates of all sorts to employ hired petitioners, the best way to get states to change their requirements is to throw money at them. Why wouldn’t a state secretary like a nice cash flow from candidates paying for their lines on the ballot?
