On July 29, a New Jersey state trial court judge rejected the challenge to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr’s petition on procedural grounds.  He said the challenger should first have asked the Secretary of State to decide on the challenge.  See this story.

UPDATE:  here is the decision.

Hopefully the New Jersey Secretary of State knows that New Jersey’s “sore loser” law does not apply to presidential candidates, as the records will show that both in 1988 and 1992, a candidate who ran in the Democratic presidential primary also qualified as an independent candidate that year.  The candidates were David Duke in 1988 and Lyndon LaRouche in 1992.
