Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could start new political party in New York
According to the New York State Board of Elections, if Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hits the 2% or 130,000 voter threshold in this year's presidential race, "We the People" would be a new, official political party in the state with ballot access for two years.
But there are still plenty of hurdles to overcome before that happens, thanks in part to an election law change that went into effect before the 2020 race.
