News first, sorry (although there could be a giggle here, too:)
Robert F Kennedy Jr accused of voter fraud over New York ballot
Watchdog files complaint after Trump nominee cast vote from address court ruled was not his place of residence
Robert F Kennedy Jr has been accused of committing voter fraud in Novemberβs presidential election by casting his ballot from a New York address that a court had previously ruled was not his place of residence.
The complaint, filed by Accountable.US, a left-leaning watchdog group, could complicate Kennedyβs confirmation as Donald Trumpβs nominee to be health and human services secretary, when he is expected to be subject to rigorous questioning at a Senate hearing.
In a filing with the New York state board of elections, the watchdog calls for an investigation into Kennedy for βregistering for and votingβ from a state address at which he does not live.
βNew York statute β¦ provides that any person who β[k]nowingly gives a false residence within the election district when registering as an electorβ is guilty of a felony,β the complaint states.
It goes on to say that Kennedy voted by mail-in ballot from an address in Katonah, about 45 miles from New York City, which was at the centre of a state court ruling about his eligibility to appear on the New York ballot as a presidential candidate.
That referred to a ruling last August by a New York judge upholding a legal challenge from another watchdog group asserting that Kennedy had falsely listed the address as his residential home in order to gain ballot access. (snip-MORE)
And the chuckle on public record:
