I somehow missed this RFK Jr lawsuit about his eligibility to be on the NY Ballot

I read in another article (in NY Times) on the same subject that If he is disqualified in NY it could also make other states follow suit.

Edited to add this excerpt:

The lawsuit alleges Kennedy’s New York ballot nomination petition listed a residence in Katonah while he actually has lived in the Los Angeles area since 2014. The suit is backed by Clear Choice PAC, a super PAC led by supporters of Democratic President Joe Biden. A judge is set to decide the outcome without a jury.

Earlier in the day, the woman who owns the Katonah property testified that Kennedy rents a room from her for $500 a month, but acknowledged that those payments began a day after a news article questioned the candidate’s claim that he lives in New York.
