CHARLESTON, West Virginia – According to the AP, rapper Kanye West sued the West Virginia secretary of state’s office after learning that he failed to obtain the necessary signatures to appear on the ballot for the US presidential election in that state.
Secretary of State Mac Warner’s office told the news media last month that West needed 7,144 signatures from registered voters in West Virginia. West submitted 15,000 signatures, but only 6,383 were corroborated, according to Warner spokesman Mike Queen.
The lawsuit says West had no opportunity to challenge that decision before a lottery to decide the order in which the names will appear on the ballot, WSAZ-TV reported Monday. Ask for a date for an emergency hearing and a ruling that allows your name to be listed.
West announced his presidential candidacy in July saying that he was seeking to occupy the nation’s top job in a party he called “Birthday Party” (which can be translated as “Birthday Party” or “Birthday Party”).
West has since been gathering signatures to appear on ballots in various states.
