Here is a story about a lawsuit filed in Nassau County.
Here is a story about a lawsuit filed in Dutchess County.
Here is a link to the Complaint in the Dutchess County litigation.
The Dutchess County lawsuit fails to note that, while Kennedy and Nicole Shanahan, his VP running mate, both live in California, one of them could move to another state before January 6, 2025, which would allow them to receive California electoral votes, in the event that they won the presidential election in that state.
Given the numbers presented in the USA Today article about the Nassau County lawsuit, the Kennedy/Shanahan ticket would need a signature validity rate of only 30.79% in New York. The suit alleges that only 21.31% of the petition signatures are valid.
The Dutchess case is Cartwright v Kennedy, 52389/2024. The Nassau case is Smith v Kennedy, 000427/2024.
Here is yesterday’s announcement on X.
The Libertarian Party of Montana has also stated that they will not place the LP presidential ticket of Chase Oliver and Mike ter Maat on the ballot in that state.
Only one time in its history has a Libertarian Party state affiliate placed a presidential ticket other than the national convention-nominated presidential ticket on its ballot. That was in 2000, when the Libertarian Party of Arizona declined to put the Harry Browne/Art Olivier ticket on the ballot, and instead placed L. Neil Smith for President and Vic Supranowitz for Vice President on the general election ballot in Arizona.
