I'm sure if he breaks another rule it won't be an automatic 5k, I would see a second strike (depending on severity) as forfeiting the rest, and a third being kicked out of the race.
Plus as much as I hate to defend Kenney, he isn't totally wrong in the ambiguity of the rule. Sure, near in context should be self explanatory, but wouldn't it have just been easier for the rule to be written like "no candidate is allowed on the premises where a delegate voting station is located" or "no candidate is allowed within 500ft" or something. A little specificity goes a long way to preventing these kind of breaches.
