With rich family ties to South Dakota Democrats, RFK Jr. attempts to make ballot as independent
Campaign submits more than double signatures needed in presidential bid
The bid by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to make the ballot in all 50 states as an independent candidate for president came to Pierre Tuesday, with the campaign announcing that it had submitted petitions with the Secretary of State’s Office.
The campaign turned in 8,000 signatures of registered voters, well above the 3,502 needed to make the ballot, it announced.
I’m proud to say Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be on the ballot in South Dakota,” said South Dakota volunteer leader Sarah Sturges in a release. “It’s been an honor to be part of this journey.”
