Kanye WestThe first presidential rally did not help him on the ballot in another major state … the cut was simply missed in South Carolina.
Kanye’s campaign did not meet Monday’s deadline for reaching the November ballot in SC … Chris Whitmore, Director of Public Information for the South Carolina State Election Commission, tells TMZ.
Kanye is running for the independent birthday party, which gave him 12 PM ET to get the necessary 10,000 signatures as a candidate for the petition, but we were told that the State Election Commission did not hear a peep from Ye or his Bell. – without traditional signatures and without digital signatures.
As we reported … Kanye tried to get enough signatures over the weekend, including asking people to sign up on social media, and held a wild campaign rally how alarmed, annoying and worried his friends and the Kardashians.
None of that moved the needle, apparently.

Kanye’s hopes of being on the state ballot have been dashed … there is no written option for voters in South Carolina and the only way Yeezy could be on the November ballot now is as a legitimate party candidate (republican, democrat, libertarian, green, etc.) and that is not happening.
For those who keep score at home … Kanye’s on the ballot in Oklahoma, but now he’s upset in SC, Florida or Michigan.
