Wisconsin Elections Commission denies Kanye West ballot access
Madison.com ^ | 08/20/2020 | Briana Reilly

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 sucks for Kayne but I think it helps President Trump.

Kayne was already convincing blacks to leave the Democrat plantation, and this refusal to put him on the ballot will piss him and his followers off, and reinforce what is wrong with the Democrat party.

They may not vote for Trump, but they won’t be voting Biden either.

The 2 GOP representatives on the commission voted against West. Too stupid.

```
From their perspective it was a choice of voting YES and no longer being invited to the swell parties the Dems put on in Madison or voting NO and still going to the parties plus the nice pieces in the local rags about them. A real no brainier.

Fear and panic have set in.

Kanye is a mortal threat. Kanye can still be written in

Or, the black voter will just not show up knowing his only choice was Biden

Awwww.....

Well, if you’re not sure whether to vote for Kanye or Joe, you ain’t black. Write the brother in if you won’t vote for Trump.

what are they talking..minutes??

Yes. According to the news reports I heard on Wisconsin radio stations, Kanye West was denied because his application and signatures were delivered "a few minutes late."

Oh, the irony. Jim Crow watch-keeping by Wisconsin Dems.

This may do as much good as actually having him on the ticket.

Once again, white DemoKKKrats (for the most part) seek to oppress the black man.

Probably good for Trump.

The fact that (perceived) the Ds just denied a black man a spot on the ballot will not play well either in WI or anywhere else with blacks.

And I think we need PA

PA is already lost. The Demoncrap governor sent out prepaid mail-in ballots to every single voter in the state. Prepaid mail never gets a cancellation stamp, so, there will be as many 'discovered' ballots as is needed to deliver the state... and you can never prove it was returned after the election.

He may have sent them out, but that doesn’t mean they will be used. I got requests in the mail but I never sent even those in.

Consider that Wisconsin Elections Commission's denying West Kayne from ballot is probably a violation of 12th Amendment (12A) imo. This is because, with the exception of one restriction, 12A allows electors to vote for any constitutionally qualified person for president and vp that they want to imo.
Excerpted from the 12th Amendment: "The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President [emphasis added], and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice- President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate; […]"

Note that political parties or politically correct state primaries are defined by the Constitution.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
