Kanye West Not Allowed on IL Election Ballot

[Hank77]

The attempt to accumulate enough votes to harm Biden may not be going so well.

Kanye West won’t be appearing on the presidential ballot for his home state after election officials in Illinois found that 1,900 of the 3,128 signatures West submitted are invalid.

While no reason was given, issues could be fake names or undresses, voters who were not eligible in Illinois, illegible signatures or something else entirely, TMZ notes.

The signatures were brought to the attention of the Illinois State Board of Elections after three people filed objections citing dodgy signatures, the site reported.

Meanwhile Wisconsin is looking into West’s presidential bid in that state after Democratic party members found signatures for “Mickey Mouse” and Bernie Sanders on that state’s ballot.

“If the affidavits are true … crimes were committed by the West campaign,” attorney Michael Maistelman, who gathered the affidavits for the state Democratic Party, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

I don't know why West is even trying this. It is not like he has shown good judgment for years.

West wants Trump to win. They think that he can draw young black voters away from Biden.

I want West to win, because then it'll be everybody's birthday.

Oh yeah, we should have a bipolar person in the White House, what a great idea.

So you're saying that treating bipolar people as second class citizens is a great idea?

I'm saying that there are medical conditions that cause a person to not be appropriate for all types of jobs.
You're not going to hire a blind person to drive a delivery truck.

So, you're saying we should discriminate against people?

Where are all the Republican election fraud warriors when you need them?

Apparently helping Mr. West.
At least 6 Republican operatives, some tied to Trump camp, working to get Kanye West on the 2020 ballot

If you want to call it discrimination you can do that. I call it NOT voting/hiring someone who is mentally unstable.

Bipolar disorder, NPD or dementia. Take your pick.

You should have some amount of discernment when picking a national leader. Some personality types just aren’t fit for leadership.

 

[Kentonio]

So, you're saying we should discriminate against people?

Of course we should discriminate against people in situations like that. Would you give someone suffering from psychotic mania a gun? Would you hire someone with extreme dementia to operate a nuclear weapons silo?

This stuff is about as obvious as it can be, for some roles you need certain capabilities.

 

[Xenophon]

Guys, I'm joking.

And yes, I mean "Guys" as a microaggression against you all.

 

[Xenophon]

Bipolar disorder, NPD or dementia. Take your pick.

I pick bipolar disorder out of that selection. If Kanye is on the ballot, he's getting my vote.

It is not illegal to discriminate against people that cannot perform a job.

And, an elected position is earned through the electoral process. And it appears that some "helpers" are engaging in improper, if not illegal activities.

What an opening for a comment about Biden.

Anyone capable of being president should by no means be allowed to do the job.

And I don't understand why your impulse is to leap to conspiracy in regard to the whole thing, it's probably just memesters getting a kick out Kanye running.

I think we all ready have a bipolar person in the White House.
