Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Campaign Goes to Federal Court to Stop Illinois Objections to his Petition

On July 30, the Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. campaign filed a federal lawsuit to stop the objections to his Illinois petition.  Oakley v Illinois State Board of Elections, n.d., 1:24cv-06627.  The objectors to the Kennedy petition did not bring the challenge to the Kennedy candidates for presidential elector.  Instead they just filed against Kennedy and his running mate, Nicole Shanahan.

The federal lawsuit says because the true candidates are the candidates for presidential elector, the objectors’ challenge is fatally flawed.  It is too late for the objectors to file a new objection naming the candidates for elector.  The case is before U.S. District Court Judge Jeremy C. Daniel, a Biden appointee.  Thanks to Sam Cahnman for this news.

  1. You keep writing these stories about ballot access. Our campaign will handle these easily, Richard. What we need from you and others of our supporters who love ❤️ you and your website and our loyal followers who comment here, is MONEY 💲💲. We are having a really hard time raising funds these days and that’s why we have temporarily fallen behind in the polls as we fall behind in fundraising, dear Richard and dear Ballot Access News readers. Please send us whatever you a this very minute. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, ❤️, friends for emptying your wallets NOW! Love, Cheryl

  2. Go to Kennedy24.com NOW. If all of you lovely friends contributed just a thousand dollars each, our poll numbers will rise within days!!!!

  3. Please I am bagging you. Read today’s Wall Street Journal article, “RFK Jr’s Campaign Window Is Closing.” Donate not tomorrow, not next week but NOW!!!

  4. In Colorado donate to the Libertarian Party of Colorado so we can win the Centennial State!

  5. It already closed. Your campaign was over when you failed to make the CNN debate and Kamala getting passed the torch put the nail in its coffin. Your fundraising and poll numbers will continue to decline and dwindle. You will end up with less than 1%. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch on ballot access, either.

  6. You are a radical liberal who hates America. We are buoyant and can rise to win the election, my dear sweethearts, if you send us what you can NOW.

    Kennedy24.com

  7. I love America, and any money sent to your loser campaign is wasted. This site , is about ballot access, not trolling for donors.

  8. Richard, can’t you do something? Putin a good word for us? Tell your followers all these ballot access lawsuits cost us thousands in legal fees? Delete the comments of those who denigrate Bobby and lie about him? You have always been our champion and we need you more than ever in our hours of need.

    Everyone, go to Kennedy24.com now and sepia your ❤️ in the form of a donation.

    Don’t listen to Democrats or Republicans! Bobby can beat them both with his handstied if only we can get his hands on more cash!

  9. Rad, how would you like a trip to Hollywood where you could meet movie stars like Ted Danson and Larry David? I am arrange it. I am sure you are lovely deep down.

  10. Richard, does RFK, Jr. now have ballot access to 270 electoral college votes? If so that may be worth an article post itself.

  11. Fans of “The Bear”: For a limited time, donate $5000 now to Kennedy24.com and you can have lunch with Oliver Platt, who plays Uncle Jimmy Cicero. And you won’t have to chase Oliver, either, haha!

  12. The only thing I know about stocks is that in May, Bobby bought $24,000 in GameStop to show solidarity with you guys and to thumb our noses on your behalf at institutional investors who will no longer control Wall Street in a Kennedy administration.

    Go to Kennnedy24.com now and give us some love ❤️

  13. “Cheryl” (who is really Robert K Stock) is now going to Ogle level trolling. Why does this site attract so many trolls and retards?

  14. I don’t know what you are talking about. Do you mean Robert Stack? Darling, I think you are a trifle confused.

  15. Curtis LeMay, RFK does have official ballot recognition in states with over 270 electoral votes, but it doesn’t really matter, because he doesn’t meet the other requirement, polling at 15% in some polls.

  16. I don’t mind being ogled, though. After you send your love ❤️ to Kennedy24.com, you can ogle me at OnlyFans.

  17. Yeah, no. I don’t need your pathetic celebrity meetings, onlyfans or wacko loser campaign or candidate. I’m good.

  18. Can anyone provide me with a case number or docket number for Kennedy case in New York?

    Thank you

  19. Pretty sure it’s been mentioned several times in articles and discussions here. Do a search for New York.

    Keep up the good work!

  24. She’s the next president only if her current poll numbers hold up – which they definitely won’t.

  25. Harris is not going to win big

    More and more Americans are catching up to the election rigging attempts by the democratic primaries and their superpacs

    If Third party are insignificant do and Trump will easily Take the independent vote

    Kamala will not be competitive in the Russ belt

    Those folks in rural pennsylvannia,ohio,Michigan are gonna say no thanks

    Your not fooling anybody

  26. The only deadline for candidates’ names to appear on a ballot should be Election Day when each voter places their names there. That is how it was done for the first 100 years under the Constitution and it is still the constitutional manner of conducting elections. Ballot censorship cannot be constitutional. Ballot rigging is fascism.
    Ballot access censorship is unconstitutional voter censorship no matter how many political parties, candidates and legislators collude to rig elections.

  29. David, you spell like a third grader, so you’re (not “your”) not equipped mentally to handle reading caselaw.

    You don’t understand how to capitalize letters. And “Russ belt” is hilarious.

    Rad is right, but you’re not just wrong; you’re an American idiot, Dookie.

  30. It’s all about turnout in cities like Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Madison, Raleigh, Atlanta, Ann Arbor, etc.

  31. Her pretentious and inauthenticity will be revealed during the presidential debates where her lack of substance will be exposed

    Remember she has yet to do a long form interview and this is a vulnerability that I think will be especially exposed

    She’s got no policy ir stances in her website

    She knew of Joe biden”s condition for several months and hid it from the general public

    Trump will sell to inner cities that she kept non violent marijuana users in California as a former prosecutor locked up and blocked evidence from freeing them

    Do you recall when Tulsa gabbard exposed this in 2020?

    You underesrimate trump’s black support in big cities and her actions against minorities in SF will hurt her some in inner cities

    Trump has gone go these big cities like Milwaukee and detroit and he will likely split the margins and cut into the blue wall like he did in 2016

    Then she will do poorly in the rural countries .It’s the American heartland that will decide this election and msny rural folk are gonna be like Nah

  32. On August 19, Democrats will hold their convention in Chicago, even though all the delegates have committed to support Kamala Harris, which will make it seem like a celebration of unity. But given the events of the preceding month, it might be a celebration of the bloodless coup that almost nobody bothered to question.

    Who knew power could move so swiftly from one hand to another without anyone actually dying first? Then again, maybe the threat of killing Biden’s 50-year political legacy was a kind of death.

    On July 27, investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published, Leaving Las Vegas: Inside the Last Tortured Days of the Biden Campaign, on his Substack. In it, he provides salient details and analysis from a “senior official” about events leading up to Biden’s withdrawal, with Hersh comparing those days to the 1964 John Frankenheimer film, Seven Days in May, about a foiled coup attempt.

    On Tuesday he [Biden] gave the keynote address to 5,000 members of the NAACP at its annual convention. The next day, the president, apparently stricken while campaigning with a yet-to-be-revealed illness, broke from his schedule and made a police escort race to Air Force One after initially telling police they were heading to the nearest emergency room…

    At that point, according to Emily Goodin, a Daily Mail reporter who was in the traveling press pool, the president was “deathly pale” and Air Force One flew at maximum speed to Delaware, where the president has a weekend retreat at Rehoboth Beach. The press pool was told that Biden had COVID… By Saturday, July 20, former President Barack Obama was deeply involved, and there was talk that he would place a call to Biden.

    ‘On Sunday morning,’ the official told me, with the approval of Pelosi and Schumer, Obama called Biden after breakfast and said, ‘Here’s the deal. We have Kamala’s approval to invoke the 25th Amendment.’”

    Margaret Kimberly, contributing writer to the Black Agenda Report, posted this on X:

    This might be the right moment to remember what the founders called our way of governing: a social experiment. The Democrats have weaponized aspects of that experiment to attack democracy itself.

    When the dust settles, and it always does, the true cost of the Democratic Party’s refusal to hold a fair primary, or a process wherein people not hand-chosen by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) could cast a vote for Harris or someone else, may have dealt the party a lethal blow. And, depending on who wins, mortal damage to democracy.

    So far, the most successful part of the Democratic Party’s 2024 campaign has been fooling people into thinking Trump is the problem, not domestic and foreign policies. And that Kennedy is a spoiler, not an intelligent, sane, thoughtful leader.

    On second thought, if winning against every anti-democracy lawsuit the DNC files to keep Kennedy off the ballot makes him a spoiler, then okay, maybe they were right about one thing.

  33. Cities will decide. Republicans are the cheaters. Trumps vastly overstated black support evaporated completely since Harris has been at the top of ticket. If you think Trump will get it back because of marijuana you need to cut back on your daily dose.

    Kamala is an excellent debater. She will wipe the floor with Trump. She has plenty of policy chops. So what if phrasing for the website is still being ironed out? Plenty of time on that.

    Trump is the problem, Kennedy is a spoiler, and your conspiracy theories are silly.

    As with ballot access, don’t count your lawsuit chickens before they hatch.

  34. Lol who, and why would anyone care even if it was true? Unlike you, I don’t troll and never posted under any other name.

  35. Kamala is not a good debater

    She really got exposed by Tulsi Gabbard in the 2020 presidential debates

    There’s several million youtube views were she got grilled by Tulsi on her blocking of evidence to free those who were incarcerated

    This is a violation of Human Rights

    She also called 18-24 year Old Stupid at an incarceration event and thay noncommercial they are in dormitories

    There’s soothing about kamala and wanting to keep people behind close doors

    The American people won’t be fooled by this

  36. Excuse me need to edit typos

    Kamala is not a good debater.She lacks substance and was biden’s coverup in chief hiding his condition from the general public

    She really got exposed by Tulsi Gabbard in the 2020 democratic presidential debates

    There’s several million youtube views were she got grilled by Tulsi on her blocking of evidence to free those who were incarcerated

    This is a violation of Human Rights

    She also called 18-24 year olds Stupid at an incarceration event and that non wonder they are in dormitories

    This video is in the stages of becoming viral

    There’s something about kamala and wanting to keep people behind close doors whether it’s jails or dormitories

    The American people won’t be fooled by this

    She has refused to do long form interviews because she lacks substance

    That flare and propping up eventually will have a downward curve as people want substance

  37. The truth of the matter is Clear Choice doesn’t really care if Rfk jr is a Ny resident or CA resident

    Their sole goal in this is just to get him off the ballot

    And I know your watching this DNC operatives that work for Clear Choice,Meridian strategies,lis smith etc…

    Amarylis is keeping receipt of what you guys are trying to do
