Debating the meaning of time itself, state elections officials voted Thursday to bar rapper Kanye West from Wisconsin's 2020 presidential ballot after staff found his campaign filed paperwork late.
The 5-1 vote came after the members of the Wisconsin Elections Commission grilled a staffer about the accuracy of his wristwatch and his knowledge of the length of time it takes to ride the building's elevator from the ground floor to the third floor as they sought to determine whether West's nomination papers were turned in before or after the statutory deadline.

It will be fine. Dems have embraced just about every morbid position possible. Why is that? How can a party be so stupid? Something else is going on here.
I can’t believe what Im reading.
watches, elevators??
i figured he was 2 weeks late.
what are they talking..minutes??
He can appeal
I am sure there is some history he can find that supports him being put on the ballot
Demorats are saying the election will be determined by Wisconsin......there’s no way they were going to let Kanye West on the ballot there....None.
that’s racist
“what are they talking..minutes??”
yep
The third party candidate in Minnesota is already ruining Biden’s chances there.

We need to rock the turnout.
And I think we need PA
I don’t want to have to count on MN
“what are they talking..minutes??”
Seconds. And they are relying on testimony from Democrat witnesses. The exact time was never recorded.
They are trying to keep this black gentleman off the ballot for some reason.

They are DISGUSTING.
They don’t want a Republic or a democracy.
They want a Socialist state.
Trump continues to force everyone to show their true colors.
The virus helped.
Well Wisconsin Commision is making it difficult not just for West but others as well who want to be on the ballot before him.
I do believe the GOP and others are actively helping candidates get on ballots. But as we see in this article there’s a lot of ‘hands getting their fingers involved’ that the GOP has no control over, nor anyone else.
