Kanye West does not qualify to be on the presidential ballot in battleground Wisconsin after missing a filing deadline, a judge ruled late Friday
Rapper , upholding a bipartisan decision by the state elections commission.
Those deadlines could force the Wisconsin Supreme Court, controlled 4-3 by conservatives, to act within a matter of days on who should be on the ballot. The state elections commission has argued that printing new ballots this late would not only be expensive, but could also cause"confusion and disorder" and may not even be feasible.
West had argued that the deadline did not expire until 5:01 p.m. and regardless of the timing, commission staffers still accepted the papers. The commission voted that West had missed the deadline either by a few seconds or several minutes. West's attorneys did not immediately return a message seeking comment. West announced a presidential bid in July, saying he's seeking the nation's highest office on a ticket he calls the"Birthday Party." Democrats claim Republicans are pushing West's candidacy in swing states to siphon the Black vote from Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
