Kanye West Doesn’t Make Ballot In South Carolina Despite Presidential Rally
Kanye West had his first ever presidential campaign in South Carolina where he made controversial remarks about Harriet Tubman. ’Ye claims that she wasn’t responsible for freeing slaves and instead had them work for other White people.
TMZ however shared that Kanye didn’t make it on the ballot in South Carolina for the upcoming 2020 presidential election.
Chris Whitmore, Director of Public Information for the South Carolina State Election Commission, told the media outlet that ’Ye’s campaign missed the deadline.
It appears Kanye, who is running as an independent candidate under the Birthday Party, was given a 12 p.m. ET cutoff time to receive 10,000 signatures as a petition candidate. But, the state’s election committee didn’t receive any signatures from Kanye’s campaign, neither traditional nor electronic.
According to reports, Kanye attempted to obtain signatures over the weekend and even went as far as asking supporters to sign his petition via Twitter, but it appears that he was unsuccessful.
TMZ added that chances of Kanye being on South Carolina’s ballot on Nov. 3 are slim to none as there is no write-in option for the state’s voters. The only way that ’Ye would be be able to swing this is if he ran under an already established political party: Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, etc.
