Kanye West Reportedly Sues To Get On Wisconsin Ballot After Being Rejected
Kanye West is determined to get on the ballots! Just last week, the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) voted by a 5-1 margin to turn away the rapper’s petition after he missed the deadline to file his papers to appear on Wisconsin’s presidential ballot. He missed it by just a minute.
Despite that, he’s still trying to make it happen. According to The Hill, the rapper has reportedly decided to the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) to get his name on the presidential ballot in the state this fall.Â
West’s lawsuit, filed in Brown County asking the local court to rule that his nominating papers were submitted on time. He also wants to ensure that he and his running mate, Michelle Tidwell, will appear on the ballot in November.
WEC explained their decision saying no petitions may be submitted on the due date a second after the time. However, West’s lawyers are arguing that the deadline expires actually expires at 5:01 p.m. Though WEC determined that West’s submission came in at 14 seconds after 5 p.m, The Hill reports.
