Kanye West fails to make ballot in South Carolina despite rally

Rapper Kanye West failed to make the presidential ballot in South Carolina by the Monday deadline, despite holding a campaign rally in the state the day before.

West submitted none of the necessary 10,000 petition signatures due Monday at noon, commission spokesman Chris Whitmire told The Hill.

South Carolina law prohibits write-in candidates, meaning the only option for a candidate at this point is to seek the nomination of one of the certified political parties.

There will be no additional extensions to the deadline, Whitmire said. The deadline had already been extended five days from July 15 triggered by the emergency declaration due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Last week, West qualified to appear on the Oklahoma presidential ballot, after a representative for West reportedly sent in the necessary paperwork and paid the $35,000 .

5. Sadly for him, I think the entire clan is calculating the cost-benefit of acting on his behalf

with nearly all the inputs based on perceived lost income and $$ opportunities. The gross opportunism in that whole family is beyond nauseating. I think more of Kim than I do Ivanka certainly, but I can't say I don't think she suffers from some of the same tendencies.
