The Kennedy campaign announced that they now have enough signatures to appear on the ballot in 19 states, totaling 278 electoral college votes
The Kennedy campaign announced that they now have enough signatures to appear on the ballot in 19 states, totaling 278 electoral votes. Only 9 of those states have confirmed ballot access for RFK Jr.
They've now added South Carolina as well: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gains South Carolina ballot access in outsider bid for president (abcnews4.com).
Today, the Kennedy campaign announced that they turned in enough signatures for ballot access in NY. They say RFK Jr. is now on the ballot or has enough signatures for the ballot in 16 states, totaling 229 electoral college votes. https://www.kennedy24.com/kennedy_signatures_historic_ballot_access_victory_new_york
I'm not sure why Florida was not included in this list, but Kennedy previously announced ballot access in Florida via the Reform Party. Florida has an additional 30 EV. https://www.kennedy24.com/kennedy_reform_party_nomination_ballot_access_florida
Including Florida, Kennedy would now have enough signatures for the ballot or already be on the ballot in 17 states equalling 259 EV.
@BishopG The Kennedy-Shanahan ticket is officially on the ballot in seven states — Utah, Michigan, California, Delaware, Oklahoma, Hawaii, and Texas. It has collected enough signatures for ballot access in nine other states — New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina, Idaho, Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio, New Jersey, and now New York.
I believe they need to be officially on the ballot in 270 EVs worth of states, not just collect enough signatures
For Florida, per this article the Reform party is not yet on the ballot. The Kennedy campaign appears to still be gathering signatures in Florida.
@BishopG he mentioned in an interview they are holding off submitting them so there is less time for opposing party to try and contest and invalidate the submission
He has three of the four polls, and he has ballot access in the following states:
Florida: 30 EV
Utah: 6 EV
Michigan: 15 EV
California: 54 EV
Delaware: 3 EV
Oklahoma: 7 EV
Texas: 40 EV
Hawaii: 4 EV

Total: 159 EV

According to his site, he also seems to be making progress towards the required ballot access, but is not there yet and only has a month left: https://www.kennedy24.com/ballot-access
@SaviorofPlant Note that some states marked as complete on Kennedy's campaign page are still reviewing the signatures submitted (e.g., Texas).
And many won't even accept signatures in time.
