Kanye West pushing to be on the presidential ballot in SC — what it will take

Rap star Kanye West is coming for South Carolina voters, asking them to sign a petition to get him on the presidential ballot in the Palmetto State this November.

In a late Friday tweet sent to his nearly 30 million followers, West shared a link to the petition asking voters in the state to sign. Online advertisements for the petition also appeared on thestate.com.

So what does West have to do to get on the ballot in South Carolina?

He doesn’t have much time — he needs to file 10,000 valid signatures of registered voters in the state with the South Carolina Electoral Commission by noon on Monday, July 20. In a typical election year, the deadline is July 15, but under the state of emergency declared by Gov. Henry McMaster due to the coronavirus pandemic, candidates get five extra days.

The South Carolina Electoral Commission accepts “digitized” signatures from registered voters in the state — signatures created using a stylus or finger that is human readable. It does not accept “digital” signatures that use “a unique ‘hash,’ ‘code’ or ‘digital fingerprint’ created using a mathematical algorithm for which the signer has a ‘key,’” according to the scvotes.gov website.

4. Won't make a difference here

If this state is even close, then Biden will win with an LBJ 1964 landslide.
