Photo: Ron Sachs/Consolidated News Pictures/Getty Images Kanye West’s presidential campaign is moving to get on the ballot in two new purple states, Minnesota and Virginia, after filing Friday in Iowa.

The challenge that poses for the rapper is that, in his affidavit of candidacy, West said he was “not affiliated with any party.” Iowa Code requires a candidate to include “the political party with which the candidate is a registered voter.” There is a precedent from 2018 where a registered Democrat attempted to run as a Republican and his candidacy was thrown out as a result.

Todd Henderson, a longtime Republican operative, signed one form that West submitted. The lawyer who submitted the petitions, Brian Rickert is also an active Republican and all six of the electors that West submitted were registered Republicans as well. In addition, as first reported by the Tennesseean on Friday, West’s campaign is attempting to get on the ballot in Tennessee, which has a minimal threshold of 275 valid signatures for presidential hopefuls.

The campaign has also replaced one elector with Republican ties in Vermont with another elector with Republican ties. Chuck Wilton, who is also a delegate to the Republican National Convention this month in Charlotte, was removed as a West elector and replaced by Bradford Broyles, the former chair of the Rutland County Republican Party. Broyles also served as campaign manager for Wilton’s wife, Wendy, when she was the Republican nominee for Vermont state treasurer in 2012.

Bencjacobs Go Kanye

Bencjacobs No one is deciding between Kanye and Biden. That hypothetical person is more likely to stay home, pull Trump’s lever or write in some other celeb. If Biden has spare cash he should run a digital campaign targeting single issue pro-life voters, plugging Kanye over Trump
