According to reports, Kanye West’s name will be removed from the polls in his home state of Illinois. The news comes after it was revealed that more than half of the signature submitted by Kanye’s team was considered invalid.
A review of the legitimacy of Kanye’s petition to vote, found that 1,928 of the 3,128 signatures were marked as invalid. A state requires more than 2,500 signatures to officially add a name to the vote.
While it is not clear why the names were considered invalid, some reasons could include unreadable names, unregistered voters, or people providing false names or addresses. If Kanye West’s name is to be removed from the vote on August 21, a White House correspondent and political analyst at CNN, April Ryan, now notes that the controversial figure may have been the subject of an election fraud investigation.
Stay tuned for more details as the story unfolds.

Two states declare #KanyeWest invisible to wear #POTUS ballot box due to defective signatures could open him for a #ElectionFraud research.
I would imagine that other states where reported GOP operatives helped him get to the polls will be scrutinized shortly. # Election2020
