Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign has taken a significant step in its bid for ballot access in Georgia, a crucial battleground state for the upcoming election. The campaign recently announced that they have submitted over 21,000 signatures to the Georgia Secretary of State's office, well above the required 7,500 valid signatures needed for an independent presidential candidate to qualify for the state's ballot.
The Georgia Secretary of State's office will now undertake the task of reviewing Kennedy's petition to ensure its compliance with the necessary criteria before making a final determination on his eligibility.
This development comes shortly after another independent candidate, Cornel West, also submitted signatures in Georgia. The potential inclusion of both Kennedy and West on the ballot could add complexity to the electoral landscape in a state that played a pivotal role in President Joe Biden's victory over former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
As of now, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is already listed on the ballot in eight states, namely Minnesota, Michigan, Tennessee, California, Utah, Hawaii, Oklahoma, and Delaware. His campaign's successful submission of signatures in Georgia marks a significant milestone in his broader strategy to secure ballot access across multiple states.
