After filing paperwork on July 15 with the Federal Election Commission, the rapper and designer has now qualified in Utah, in addition to Arkansas, Oklahoma and Colorado. Thus far, West has received push back in Wisconsin and New Jersey, whose state and election officials accuse him of submitting phony and fake signatures.
While attempting to get on ballots, earlier this month, West also revealed his running mate, naming self-proclaimed “Biblical Life Coach” Michelle Tidball as his vice president.
