Democratic Party will try in court to knock RFK Jr. off Washington ballots

State and national Democratic Party leaders are teaming up to force presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. off ballots in Washington.

The Washington state Democratic Party planned to file an appeal Friday of the secretary of state’s determination that Kennedy qualified for the November ballot. He is one of nine minor party candidates approved for the ballot by state election officials Tuesday.

“We believe that the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. campaign did not follow the rules. We do not believe they can prove that they did,” said Stephen Reed, communications director for the state party.

Party chair Shasti Conrad is the lead plaintiff in the legal challenge being filed in Thurston County Superior Court. The Democratic National Committee is covering the costs, Reed said.
