Let's discuss this Kanye bid seriously for a moment from a logistical perspective

Posted by ty97 Jul 9 '20, 10:46

- A couple of states have already passed the filing deadline
- Florida deadline is next week
- Many/most states have filing deadlines next month (requiring a certain number of signatures, generally, to get on the ballot)

Kanye mentions the possibility of suing to get on the ballot because of COVID. However, the pandemic has been in full swing in the US since March and is not a new thing. Kanye is just now deciding to get on the ballot, so it seems that undermines any case he would make that he needs relief due to the pandemic. (Lawyers feel free to correct me).

Responses:

i actively dislike him, but my very first thought was "First Lady Kim Kardashian". FM. -- nm - Andie Jul 9, 11:11 2
- better than the current one, tbh. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 11:24 1
  - Disagreed. -- nm - Spawn Jul 9, 11:25
I just want to know when his album is dropping. - Will Hunting Jul 9, 11:04
Remember when Kid Rock was gonna run for Senate? Yeah. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 11:00
No thank you. -- nm - Diva Jul 9, 10:55 2
- haha - ty97 Jul 9, 10:56 1
  - Money seems to make people go fuckin' *insane*. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 11:10
Does he need to get on the ballots? He could do some damage as a write-in, if he's serious. -- nm - Maracello Jul 9, 10:53 4
- Do all states even allow write-ins? Regardless, I don't see that being an effective route. -- nm - ty97 Jul 9, 10:55 2
  - (November 3, 2016) Thank WaPo for answering my question! -- (link) - ty97 Jul 9, 10:55 1
    - Whether or not the votes count isn't really the point, though. I mean, even if they did it's not like he'd win. -- nm - Maracello Jul 9, 11:11
- Kodos could take a hit. -- nm - Spawn Jul 9, 10:53
Rocky De La Fuente will be on more state's ballots. -- nm - Dano Jul 9, 10:53
Don't bother Kanye with your details. -- nm - Baron Burr Jul 9, 10:50
Again you’ve put more thought into this than he has. -- nm - spamlet Jul 9, 10:49 1
- He was aware of the filing deadlines, so I don't think I have! - ty97 Jul 9, 10:50
I have no answers for these, but his convention would be extraordinary -- nm - prayformojo Jul 9, 10:48
He won't get on most ballots - if any. If he sues, I'm sure SCOTUS will get back to him sometime next year. -- nm - Mop Jul 9, 10:48
