Kanye West will appear on Colorado ballots in November

Quote:
Rapper Kanye West successfully earned a spot on the Colorado ballot for November’s election, the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office said Thursday.

West’s name will appear on the Centennial State’s ballot, Secretary of State’s Office spokesperson Betsy Hart confirmed, in the rapper’s latest win in his efforts to earn a spot on several states' ballots.

Colorado requires presidential candidates to pay a $1,000 fee, submit notarized statements and receive support from nine electors who are registered to vote in the state, The Denver Post reported.

At least one Republican operative assisted West in his filing, which was completed Wednesday. His list of electors includes at least three registered Republicans, four unaffiliated voters and two registered Democrats, all from the Denver metro area, according to the newspaper.

Hart told the Post that election officials are reviewing paperwork from other possible candidates and will release a list on Friday of those who will appear on the ballot.

Matching his filings in other states, West named Wyoming spiritual coach Michelle Tidball as his vice presidential candidate.

The rapper, who had been a supporter of President Trump, announced he would run for president on the Fourth of July. Since then, he has filed to appear on several ballots and held a rally in South Carolina, just before missing the deadline for that state.

West has missed the deadline to file for several states including Texas, Michigan and Florida. The rapper has filed to appear on the Ohio and Oklahoma ballots and had gathered enough signatures for the Illinois, New Jersey and Missouri ballots.

But he withdrew his petition for a spot on the New Jersey ballot after being accused of election fraud with his signature submissions, and Illinois officials are questioning his signatures and paperwork in their state.

West, who is married to Kim Kardashian West, earned 2 percent of the vote in one national poll last month.

What can one say?

It's commonly assumed that he is doing this just to help his buddy Trump, by siphoning off some of the Black vote that Biden would get. But since he is only on the ballot in one state its not going to do much.

And if he is running for real, to win the oval office, its not going to do much in that direction either. At best he would get as many votes as Jill Stein or the Libertarians. Like one percent (and only one percent of one state). And thats the popular vote. He wont get any electorial votes.

Ofcourse you never know. America may not yet be tired of lunatics running the asylum. If Trump wasnt sanity impaired enough for you then maybe folks would go for West. But its still just one state. Maybe he can run again in 2024.

not only are a critical mass of amuuuricans NOT tired of lunatics running the asylum, they [courtesy of dunning-kreuger] are not even aware that they are asylum denizens, they see not lunatics but only their sociopathic heroes as reflections of their glorified selves, magnified. h.l. mencken sorta predicted this state of affairs a century ago when he said, "... when a candidate for public office faces the voters he does not face men of sense; he faces a mob of men whose chief distinguishing mark is the fact that they are quite incapable of weighing ideas, or even of comprehending any save the most elemental — men whose whole thinking is done in terms of emotion, and whose dominant emotion is dread of what they cannot understand. So confronted, the candidate must either bark with the pack or count himself lost. … All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron...."

If he’ll only be on the ballot in select states then he is at an extremely unfair advantage.

That IS... the burning question. Would Trump be less harmful, or more harmful, if it werent such an incompetent idiot?
