RFK Jr. Says He Has No Legal Residence and Cannot Vote

The remark brings renewed focus to a 2024 New York ruling that deemed his Katonah address a 'sham' with ongoing complaints about his 2024 voting.

Overview

  • On Tuesday in Los Angeles, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told reporters he now has “no legal residence” and cannot legally vote anywhere in the United States.
  • His statement refers to a 2024 New York court decision by Judge Christina Ryba that found Kennedy’s claimed Katonah, New York, residence was “a sham” and determined his permanent address was in Los Angeles.
  • Kennedy appealed that ruling and lost the appeal, leaving the court finding in place as the factual basis for questions about his official residence.
  • A watchdog group, Accountability.US, has filed a complaint alleging Kennedy voted in New York in 2024 using the Katonah address despite the court’s finding, creating potential legal and reputational exposure.
  • Because Kennedy now serves as HHS secretary after being appointed by President Trump, the dispute has both legal implications and political optics that could prompt further reviews or challenges ahead of upcoming elections.
