Kanye Court Hearing 2:30 Today; Virginia Voters Describe Ways They Were Duped Into Signing Petitions

https://bluevirginia.us/2020/09/with-court-hearing-in-kanye-west-ballot-case-set-for-230-pm-virginia-voters-describe-ways-they-were-duped-into-signing-petitions

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party of Virginia has been busy calling around to folks who signed petitions to get Kanye West on the ballot. Some of the comments made by voters are very revealing, such as:

*A voter in Springfield “[s]ays he never signed anything to put Kanye on the ballot. Seems like he was lied to.”
*A voter in Reston “[s]ays [the petition gatherers for Kanye West] said ‘Do you think anyone has the right (to run for president)?’ Thought she was signing a petition for allowing anyone to run for president. Says there was no name. Has zero intention of putting Kanye on the ballot.”
*A voter in Herndon said: “Didn’t mean to [sign the petition]. Would never sign a petition for Kanye. Doesn’t remember signing anything. Thinks maybe someone got her information possibly.”
*A voter in Springfield said, “I was told that I was signing a petition for a local candidate. I would not sign for Kanye.” (Signed at the Walmart in Kings Town)”

Bill Barr's fake DOJ will not do anything about it, of course, but this is organized criminal conduct by the GOP and Trump campaign. It's outrageous, really.

All the GOP advisors making it happen need to get dragged in and sued, too.
