Kanye West trying to get on Minnesota ballot

Representatives of rapper Kanye West are in Minnesota, trying to get him on the November ballot.   

A spokesperson with Secretary of State Steve Simon confirms that West's people are at the State Office Building dropping off a petition in an effort to get West on the ballot as a presidential candidate.  West, who has been outspoken in his support of President Trump, is trying to get on the ballot in several states. The Secretary of State's office say they have 10 days to verify the signatures on the petition.  DFL Chairman Ken Martin calls it an obvious attempt by Republicans to get West on the ballot to take votes from Joe Biden.


“Let’s be clear about what’s happening here: Donald Trump doesn’t think he can win this election fair and square after his failure to contain COVID-19 brought about mass deaths across America and crashed our economy, so his cronies are trying to get Kanye West on the ballot in a pathetic attempt to pull votes from Joe Biden and steal this election for Trump. “The DFL Party is reviewing all available options for defending the integrity of our elections.”

Numerous outlets have reported on clear connections between the Republican Party, the Trump campaign, and those seeking to place West on the ballot in various swing states.
