Kanye West's presidential campaign is still trying to get him on the ballot in multiple states, including Ohio, but their earlier efforts in New Jersey and Illinois may not survive legal scrutiny
Kanye West’s presidential campaign isn’t going well, but it’s still going. Photo: Rich Fury/Getty Images for Vanity Fair Kanye West is pushing ahead with his presidential campaign and aiming to get on the ballot in the swing state of Ohio as well as states like Arkansas and West Virginia in the coming days. The effort comes as over a dozen states have ballot deadlines in the next week, including Vermont and Colorado, where it is not necessary for candidates to petition their way onto the ballot.
In Illinois, West’s campaign barely cleared the threshold of 2,500 signatures required after a frenzied last-minute effort in the state that included canvassers standing in a supermarket parking lot next to the state board of elections only hours before the deadline. His campaign faces three different challenges in the Land of Lincoln that raise questions not only about the validity of the signatures he gathered but whether the paperwork submitted by West was inherently insufficient.
The rapper needs 800 valid signatures to appear on the ballot in the Garden State. In addition, while West submitted a full slate of electors, Salmon discovered that half of them are not registered to vote in New Jersey and thus would be ineligible. One elector listed is Victory Boyd, an R&B singer close to Kanye whose father, John Boyd, was on the ground for the campaign in South Carolina serving as West’s “spiritual adviser.
