Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is taking increasingly bizarre and contradictory positions in his crusade to inject pandemonium into the 2024 election.

Frida Ghitis : RFK Jr. appears eager to aid Republican candidate Donald Trump by acting not as a surrogate but as a chaos agent.

She says Kennedy 's tactics reflect an evident desire to sabotage the efficient administration of the election and undermine trust in its outcome.

Ghitis says Kennedy is running Schrödinger 's campaign, simultaneously seeking and disavowing presidency in different states.

Ruben Navarrette : RFK Jr. wants to get back on the ballot in Wisconsin .

He says adhesives will likely jam up voting tabulators, get stuck in equipment that was never designed to accommodate them.

He asks: Many if not all of Wisconsin ’s 4 million ballots would have to be counted by hand, a process that is slower and less accurate than machine tallying.

The state may receive a reprieve this time around, in part because its citizens have elected a judiciary.
