https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/dyzjbm/kanye-wests-campaign-is-filled-to-the-brim-with-gop-operativesA number of Republican lawyers have ties to the campaign and a West elector shared "White Lives Matter" content.
Kanye Wests presidential campaign still hasnt filed its legally mandated FEC reports, but documents show Republican election lawyers keep climbing aboard his campaign to spoil Joe Bidens chances in November.
West will be on the ballot in at least 10 states in November with the aid of a widening cast of GOP lawyers and activists.
In court documents filed Friday in a lawsuit for ballot access in Wisconsin, the 43-year-old rapper listed his mailing address as that of the top Republican law firm Holtzman Vogel Josefiak Torchinsky. Jill Holtzman Vogel, a state senator in Virginia who was the GOP nominee for lieutenant governor in 2017, is the firms managing partner.
Vogel, best known nationally for her proposed legislation to effectively mandate transvaginal ultrasounds for any woman seeking an abortion, is the former chief counsel of the Republican National Committee.

Hopefully all red states, so it won't matter much.
