Kanye West Wisconsin Ballot Lawsuit Linked To Firm Of Former RNC Chief Counsel | Talking Points Memo

After rapper Kanye West sued the Wisconsin Elections Commission on Friday to get his name on the presidential ballot in the state this fall, a not-so surprising discovery was made: the address listed for West’s court filing matches that of a GOP state senator who previously served as chief counsel for the Republican National Committee.

Funny thing.

A Kanye West Presidential Run Would Hurt Trump More Than Biden

Yeah, I don’t understand why the Republicans want West on the ballot. The notion that he will take votes from Biden is just… well… weird. Why would a Biden voter decide to switch and cast his or her ballot for a wingnut who’s even crazier and more stupid than Trump?

Kanye/RNC Campaign colluded with each other. On top of that, it has been reported that Kanye had fake signatures in ballots ie NJ, WI…seems like that’s election fraud.

Kanye is running as a spoiler presidential candidate to help Trump - Period! Let’s not forget that this is not the first time Kanye has “helped” Trump and his crime family…back in 2016 when Kushner was shopping for a $1B+ loan for his 666 Ave property, Kanye provided cover so that Kushner can meet Russian bankers in Trump Tower!

But how does that work? Is the RNC assuming that voters of color (VOC - or is that volatile organic compounds?) are stupid enough to switch from Biden to West because West is Black? Granted, the RNC is not populated by the sharpest pencils in the box, but they can’t be that dim, can they?

Funny thing West is either a willing fool or is playing at being a willing fool. My money is he is well aware of being played for a fool.

I believe they most definitely are. You know how all those black people are alike and all.

Well, since they argue, first, that the time imposition is un-Constitutional, then a little bit later they argue that I guess maybe it is but 5 oh oh really could go all the way to 5 five nine, or maybe 5 nine nine.

The GOP needs one massive time out. They don’t recognize boundaries. That is the very root essence of civilization and society, boundaries.

They need boundaries. I prefer the bounds of a sufficiently large rocket-ship hurtling towards the sun, but I will settle for the bounds of concrete and steel bars as exemplified by those at Fort Leavenworth.

attorneys contend in the complaint that Wisconsin’s deadline expires one minute after 5 p.m.

Seriously? What part of “5 p.m.” is so hard to understand? 5:00. 5:01 is not 5:00. 5:01 is LATE. 5:00:01? STILL LATE. Can the Election Commission go after these shysters for filing a frivolous lawsuit?

A random thought… If Trumps ends up wearing the orange jumpsuit he so richly deserves, would that be considered “camo” in his case?

I wonder what Trump “promised” Kayne to run. And what do the Trumpsters have up their sleeve with this?

You know why they think that. The blacks voted for Obama, so surely they’ll vote for Kanye West.

They should get Lindell on the ballot. Every liberal who sleeps at night would vote for the My Pillow guy, amirite?

This must be another good idea from Jared.

Faked signatures on a ballot initiative. That’s prison time. I’ve seen that in So Calif. The persons who wanted the initiative on the ballots faked the signatures. They were prosecuted.
