Watchdog groups have sought an investigation into Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for allegedly engaging in voter fraud by casting his November ballot from a discredited address.
The big picture: The progressive watchdog group, AccountableUS, has asked the state Division of Election Law Enforcement to determine whether Kennedy committed a felony by voting from an address that was discredited by a state judge.
- The complaint alleges that Kennedy used an address in New York City’s suburbs to vote by mail, despite a state judge’s ruling that the address was a sham and that evidence indicated Kennedy actually resided in California with his wife.
- According to the complaint filed with the elections office, public records show that Kennedy was registered to vote at the invalidated address and voted by mail in the last election.
- Kennedy is President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.
Driving the news: Kennedy had testified in the initial case that he had moved to California a decade ago to be with his wife, and that he always planned to return to New York.
- He claimed to have rented a room in a friend’s home in Katonah, but had rarely used it due to constant campaign travel.
