A judge barred Kanye West from voting Ari in Arizona on November, concluding that a voter who has challenged his candidacy shows that he might win and that he is likely to suffer insufficient losses if the rapper’s name appears on the ballot. .
In a ruling Thursday by Judge Scott McCoy, voters who challenged West’s bid in Arizona established that the relevant difficulties support them. His lawyers argued that putting West on the ballot would create confusion for voters.
The decision comes a day after the West’s campaign turned over nearly 1,000 nominee signatures, as well as an Arizona ballot that would require up to 1,000,000. In the last 10 days, more than 120 people living in other states have registered in Arizona as a paid signature collection for the West, which announced its presidential campaign on July 4th.
The West already deserves to come to the polls in many states, including Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Tennessee and Utah. He did not qualify in Ohio, Montana, West Virginia, Wisconsin and other states, although he has filed lawsuits challenging some of those decisions.
Kenya removed the most from the Virginia BL lot after meeting the 11 Electors OHS on July through ‘Improper, Fertile and / or Misleading’.
A second judge on Thursday ordered West’s name removed from the Virginia ballot, and found that the rapper failed to meet his requirement that 13 people support his campaign. The judge ruled on 11 of the 13 “Elector Oaths” submitted by the West Campaign, some of which were obtained through “inappropriate, fraudulent and / or misleading means.”
It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. Lawyer Tim Lasota, representing the West, did not make any immediate comment Thursday evening.
Earlier this week, Arizona resident Racine Clayto claimed to be banned from appearing on the ballot in the West. The lawsuit alleges the rapper acted as an election spoiler, arguing that state law prohibits him from running as an independent candidate because the West is a registered Republican.
West’s attorneys said his client’s status as a registered Republican in Wyoming is inconsistent in getting an Arizona ballot. He said that when the West filed the federal election papers, he listed his political party as “BDY” for the birthday party.
Despite these claims, Clayton’s lawyers said the West remains a registered Republican. He also said that almost all voters in the West – who will cast ballots to win – were Republicans as long as they could change registrations independently on Monday and Tuesday.
Clayton’s lawyers said the lawsuit had to be settled quickly because the ballot printing deadline was approaching.
Arizona has a Sept. 8 deadline to print ballots for Maricopa, Pima, and six other counties. Ballot papers for the remaining counties must be generated by September 9.
It is unclear whether Clayton has any ties to the Democratic Party. He said in a statement that he filed a legal challenge to the West’s campaign because he did not want voters to be confused by seeing disqualified candidates on the ballot.

Lasota has brushed aside criticism that the only Democratic nominee in West Arizona is trying to be a spoiler with the intent to harm B Biden’s chances. He asserted that his confession had been obtained through torture.
