"I suppose I'm ultimately responsible for everything that happens in the campaign," Kennedy said on the witness stand, pointing out that he wasn't abreast of every detail involved in the subcontractor's balloting efforts.
The lawsuit alleges, among other claims of fraud, that the top of some petition sheets had been folded down, so the names of Kennedy and his vice presidential running mate, Nicole Shanahan, could not be seen.
Kennedy's campaign ultimately managed to gather nearly three times the required 45,000 signatures, but concerns arose about whether some signers knew which candidate they had been asked to support.
Testifying in a trial over a lawsuit backed by the Democratic National Committee that seeks to keep Kennedy off New York's ballot, he acknowledged that his campaign submitted thousands of signatures gathered by a subcontractor despite knowing some canvassers used deceptive tactics.
