Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign has taken legal action against Nevada's Secretary of State, challenging a requirement that independent candidates must name their running mate when gathering signatures for ballot access. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court of Nevada, argues that this mandate is unconstitutional.
The issue arose after the Secretary of State's office clarified guidance that could invalidate signatures collected by Kennedy Jr.'s campaign for the November ballot due to the absence of a listed running mate on the petition. Kennedy Jr.'s team claims they had received prior approval to collect signatures without naming a vice-presidential candidate.
