Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign has made significant strides in gaining ballot access in key states, including Arizona, Montana, and Alabama. The campaign announced today that it submitted a total of 110,000 signatures to Arizona’s elections office, well surpassing the 42,303 signatures required for Independent candidates to qualify for the state’s ballot.
In addition to Arizona, Kennedy’s campaign also submitted signatures in Montana on Wednesday and Alabama on Thursday. Last month, the campaign had already collected enough signatures to qualify for ballot access in these states. With these recent submissions, Kennedy is now on the ballot in a total of 19 states, positioning him to potentially receive 236 electoral college votes.
Ballot access is a crucial step for Independent candidates like Kennedy, as it allows them to compete in the upcoming presidential election and gives voters more choices at the polls. By meeting and exceeding the signature requirements in these states, Kennedy’s campaign demonstrates its commitment to providing voters with alternative options on the ballot.
As the election season progresses, Kennedy’s presence on the ballot in multiple states could have a significant impact on the overall electoral landscape. With his campaign’s proactive approach to securing ballot access, Kennedy is poised to continue expanding his reach and engaging with voters across the country.
