Kanye West is Now on Illinois Presidential Ballot After Paying $30,000 To Get 2,500 Signatures Needed

Kanye West made more social media headlines yesterday after apologizing to his wife, Kim Kardashian, on Twitter after publicly bashing her and Kris Jenner. He also revealed the cover art for his ‘Donda’ album that was supposed to be released on Friday.

Ye also said yesterday that he could beat Joe Biden off of write-in votes but refused to speak on Donald Trump even though Trump is the president. More presidential news regarding Ye is here today as he was able to get on the ballot in his home state of Illinois, according to TMZ.

West was able to get this done by hiring a third-party vendor called Let The Voters Decide to acquire the 2,500 signatures needed to get on the ballot. 45 people people were able to get this done in a day. West also spent $10-12 per signature as they reached 3,178 in total. Therefore, $30,000 was spent by West to have a chance in Illinois.

Kenny Mister is one who collected signatures as he traveled from Detroit to Springfield, IL to work for three hours and got 56 signatures for $10 each. Usually, the signatures are $1-3, according to Rickey Hendon, former Illinois State Senator, to TMZ. The Illinois deadline is tomorrow at 5pm.

At this point, West has missed so many deadlines in states that he doesn’t have a chance in the election. This is great though because a vote for him would’ve been a vote for Trump. There is no time to play games in a crucial election like this in getting Trump out of here.
