Kanye West petitions to appear on ballot in Iowa

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Representatives for Kanye West's presidential campaign delivered petitions to the Iowa secretary of state Friday for him to appear on the ballot in November.

Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate tweeted that he will "review the petitions to ensure they meet the minimum requirements."

West's campaign, which is reportedly being aided by GOP strategists, has already filed paperwork to appear on the ballot in a handful of states, including Wisconsin and Ohio.

West is a former supporter of President Trump who famously visited the White House in 2018. West said in an interview earlier this month that he is "not denying" that his campaign could do damage to former Vice President Joe Biden's White House bid.

However, it's unclear how much of an impact West will have even if he does appear on a substantial number of ballots - a Politico-Morning Consult national poll released Wednesday showed him clocking in at just 2 percent among likely voters overall, as well as among Black voters.

2. I really don't get this tactic.

Who exactly is defecting from Biden to Kanye West?
Who of the uber-lefties who won't vote for Biden are voting for Kanye West?

In both cases, I predict the number is somewhere between zero and a statistically insignificant rounding error.

Who exactly is his constituency? No one.

3. If anything

It’s people who don’t pay any attention to politics at all and have no intention of voting.

6. The people who read every article that begins with

"Kim Kardashian wore...". That's who his constituency is.

7. But I think close to none of those are peeled from Biden

So I just don’t see how this is a great tactic to help Trump.

instead, they are probably using this to advance their own interests and $

5. Did they catch Tupac's signature this time?

I'm sure he's really popular in Iowa. Not.
