Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Qualifies for Nebraska Ballot

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been certified to appear on Nebraska's 2024 general election ballot as a nonpartisan presidential candidate after his campaign submitted over 5,000 signatures, of which 4,442 were validated by the Nebraska Secretary of State's Office. Despite objections from the Nebraska Democratic Party regarding Kennedy's affiliations with other political parties, Secretary of State Bob Evnen determined that these matters did not disqualify him from the ballot. The campaign needed a minimum of 2,500 valid signatures to qualify, which it exceeded. Kennedy, who initially ran as a Democrat, has now qualified as a presidential candidate in 10 states. The Democratic Party's objection alleged that Kennedy's strategy was to gain ballot access through various affiliations, but the Secretary of State's office upheld the campaign's compliance with state law. Unless there are legal challenges, Kennedy's name will be on the ballot this November.
