On Monday, the Kennedy campaign fired back alleging the Nevada Secretary of State was conspiring with the Democratic National Committee to prevent his ballot access while calling the VP requirement an invention and stating it has "Zero legal basis." Kennedy campaign ballot access attorney Paul Rossi said, After successfully collecting all of the signatures we need in Nevada, the DNC Goon Squad and their lackeys in the Nevada Secretary of State's office are outright inventing a new requirement for the petition with zero legal basis.
Sec. 49. NRS 298.109 is hereby amended to read as follows: 298.109 1. A person who desires to be an independent candidate for the office of President of the United States must, not later than 5 p.m. on the second Friday in August in each year in which a presidential election is to be held, pay a filing fee of $250 and file with the secretary of state a declaration of candidacy and a petition of candidacy, in which he must also designate his nominee for Vice President.
The candidate shall file a copy of the petition he intends to circulate for signatures with the secretary of state.
The Kennedy camp revealed that an employee in the Secretary of State's office confirmed that the petition did not require the inclusion of a running mate in an email on November 14, 2023.
The state confirmed that the petition does not require a VP in writing on Nov. 14.
In response, officials with the Secretary of State's office made a statement Monday afternoon that the inaccurate guidance from an employee at the office was "An error" that will be "Handled appropriately." The SOS official said the error was not a reflection of alleged political bias in the office, writing, In no way was the initial error or subsequent statutory guidance made with intent to benefit or harm any political party or candidate for office.
Now, the day before Kennedy is set to announce his vice president, Nevada Secretary of State, Democrat Francisco Aguilar, is making a desperate attempt to invalidate the campaign's signatures in the state.
