Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Secures Spot on Iowa Ballot

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently met the requirements to appear on Iowa's general election ballot by hosting a convention in West Des Moines that identified 500 eligible 'electors' from at least 25 counties. He will need to submit paperwork to the Iowa Secretary of State's office, and his campaign has obtained enough signatures to appear on the ballot in Utah, Idaho, Hawaii, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Nevada, and North Carolina. Despite this, only Utah has confirmed his place on the ballot so far. Kennedy's campaign has led to the worry of losing enough votes to swing the election for both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Kennedy is confident he will make it onto every state's ballot by July, and Iowa law allows independent candidates to collect fewer signatures by filing to appear on the ballot through a convention process.
