Kanye West, with GOP help, plans to be a spoiler in the election...

"to recap Kanye's ballot efforts...

– WISCONSIN: ballots submitted by *Trump campaign attorney*; electors are GOP activists

– ARKANSAS: point of contact was nearly Trump's campaign manager

– VERMONT: elector is Trump delegate; wife is Trump appointee

Of Kanye West's 18 electors in Ohio, six appear to live at the same address in Cleveland, another 4 appear to be at the same address in Lakewood, Ohio."

is the only state that would even make any kind of difference. Biden's not winning Arkansas and Trump's not winning Vermont LOL.

I really have nothing to add to that. His adventures are not amusing, especially this latest one.

I am no fan of K.W. and yes he may be complicit (if he's medicated) but this is really gross.

I seriously doubt he has the valid signatures he needs.

Kanye's petition signatures in NJ, apparently fraudulent...Illinois also challenging.

Publicity is publicity no matter how good or bad.

Kanye is a willing tool for his republican masters.

And does he really pull any black votes away from Joe?

I don't really see it.

Don't forget that there is a sucker born every minute. With the invention of social media I think the phrase could be updated to one being born every ten seconds.

This could be absolutely disastrous if he's allowed to go through with this, and the GOP is using him and aiding his every move. This is some seriously scary shit.
