presidential ballot by 14 seconds, and a judge has upheld the decision to keep him off the ballot.
Judge John Zakowski ruled in favor of the Wisconsin Elections Commission on Friday night, effectively keeping West off the ballot in the state. He had filed a lawsuit against the WEC over the previous decision to bar him from the ballot because his nomination papers were submitted 14 seconds after the 5 p.m. deadline on Aug.
West’s campaign argued that they had until 5:01 p.m. to file and that WEC staff interfered in their delivery by locking the doors before 5 p.m. However, according to state law and Wisconsin Administrative Code, 5 p.m. was the deadline for the papers to be in “physical possession” and anything turned in thereafter was ineligible.
“The unfortunate fact is this dispute could have been avoided had the West representatives simply arrived earlier,” Zakowski concluded the ruling. “The court is aware the signatures were gathered in roughly two days, but it has also been told [West campaign representative] Ms. Ruhland knew of the statutory requirement… and had been in contact with the Commission that day.”
West, who announced his candidacy in July, has been denied from the presidential ballot in multiple states due to lack of signatures on nominating petitions and failure to meet filing deadlines. He has been a vocal supporter of President Trump in recent years, causing many Democrats to believe his surprising attempt to run is an attempt to take votes away from democratic nominee Joe Biden.
Does anyone really know what time it is
Just dropping this here..
Do y’all really need to keep covering this...
In a race, seconds count... runners, swimmers, race car drivers, even professional barbecue chefs will tell you... miss the deadline, shove it. Deadlines are deadlines. WTF. Would want a POTUS who thinks the world revolves around them? OH. FUCKING SNAP!!! We already have one!!!
Fuck Kanye West!
Yeah, you can stop now with the Kanye stuff.
GOOD! We don’t need ANOTHER QUACK in office. He would probably make a law to wear his stupid homeless clothesline.
You mean the republicans were.
This was a good move by the radical right wing Republicans. Kanye will take away possible Biden votes although he can't win. I really hate that he is doing this. Kanye is listening to the wrong spirit. 1 John 4:1
I feel so sorry for Kanye. Looking into his eyes I see pain. I remember seeing him with his mother when his eyes showed promise and love. I send him the love of a mother and wish I could be there for him to talk things over as a mother.
Help me understand why Kanye doesn't know he's hurting the Democrats by being on any ballot. Trump is trying to keep low income (AKA) people of color out of the suburbs. He wants the low income to live in a certain area obviously. Trump is the president of the the rich.
I don't understand how Kanye can be on any ballot he's fresh out of a mental health institution. He says that he loves Jesus, if so go to 1 John 4:1 and withdraw from all states and campaign for Mr Biden.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sorry not sorry. Go away.
the only thing dumber than this run for presidency is not not allowing someone—anyone!—to submit paperwork 15 SECONDS late. Where are are the humans?!
That’s what Kim said.
As he should
Oh thank god
He should just back out and let Biden & Trump battle it out. He’s shown he doesn’t know what he’s doing.
Imma not let you finish.
He may not have qualified for the ballot but he did qualify for an all expenses paid vacation here:
😂😂😂😂😂
Don't care
He’s 14 seconds past bat shit crazy
Oh well
Good.
Voter Suppression. That’s what they do there. 🤷♀️
Wow his timing sucks!😂😂
Late Registration
What a shame
Good. No more “celebrity” presidents. Thank you.
All they're going to do is write him in! KanyeWest is going to GET at least THREE MILLION votes easy on November 3rd. I have a bet with a friend of mine that he's going to get three million. Watch!
I always knew he was just a little bit slow. I don't think this was his idea anyway.
Let me guess - so the democrats and marceelias silenced this black man? Democrat lawyers have been traveling the country try to shut this black man up
On lui met des batons dans les roues !!! lol Kanye West was 14 seconds late in registering for the Wisconsin presidential ballot
It wasn’t Kanye West, it was his Republican lawyers, and GOP sponsored propagandist team. So, Kanye is a sock puppet for the extreme radical right. Kanye was used—willingly used. And he ended his wife’s television series as a result.
Republicans were 14 seconds late in submitting signatures (some fraudulently obtained) to get Kanye on the Wisconsin presidential ballot
Lol big L
Finally some good news
14 sec., how sad is that ?
kanyewest these political people are doing you dirty. Waste of money and time fucking with you over 14 sec? They don’t want you in
Stop.

cmarinucci Know your deadlines. Time does matter Kanye. Tell Kendrick I think he is late on sharing his proceeds with me and his Fargo rep. Still, as money matters, and you and Kendrick so often make it rain money, let's make it rain water on west coast. Send some💰to me and his Fargo rep.
You snooze you lose. 💤 character
Good Kanye is ludicrous
Sorry Kanye, but Kimmy will make it all better!
Well done tweet, Variety social media team. Well done.
I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that basically no one wants ye to actually be president. But I'd watch the tv show.
Oh, what a shame! Because what America really needs right now is another billionaire egomaniac with mental health issues and absolutely no political experience.
Hell yes
*yawn*
pity that
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
'I do not think it's unreasonable to expect people who are seeking higher office to do something as simple as walk through a door before 5 o'clock at night, which is the deadline,' Jacobs told reporters.
🎶 You mean I missed the ballot by a couple of seconds 🎶
Sorry fuccboi
