ACKSON, Miss. (AP) Kanye West will appear as a presidential candidate on Mississippi's ballot in November, after being approved as a qualified candidate by the State Board of Election Commissioners on Tuesday.
The rapper has already qualified to appear on the ballot as an independent candidate in several states, including Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Utah.
To qualify in Mississippi, he was required to pay a $2,500 fee to the Secretary of States Office and get the signatures of at least 1,000 Mississippi voters.
It was interesting to see him pick Mississippi, and obviously it will be interesting to see what happens with that vote on Nov. 3, Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson said after the board's meeting. But he did qualify.

(50,557 posts)If you take Donald Trump's positions on everything, and Trump's mental illnesses, and transplant them into someone who is good at business, you get Kanye West. So...now instead of having to make up 18 points, we might only have to make up 17 because I find it slightly hard to believe anyone who was thinking about voting for Biden is going to switch their vote to Black Trump.

(17,863 posts)and his electors are faithless (assuming the law of the state allows it). Otherwise I suspect the Libertarian candidates in every election (except perhaps this one) would give their votes to the Republican. Can't be as sure about a Green candidate doing the same for the Democrat.
And the person with the most votes get all the Electoral College votes except in Maine and Nebraska
