Kanye West got 7,654 in Minnesota.....😳 😳 😳 OMGAWD.......

Rapper Kanye West's campaign website says "our future is waiting on us," but even with a big nudge from voters in Minnesota, it might have to wait until 2024.

The musical artist folded his 2020 presidential campaign with some 60,000 votes across the nation, at least 7,654 of them coming from Minnesota, a state with a tradition of backing third-party insurgencies like that of former Gov. Jesse Ventura.

Minnesota gave West his second-largest statewide vote total after Tennessee, where more than 10,200 fans voted for the first-time candidate.

... pre-packaged for-your-convenience, write-in vote for people who didn't want to write out Donald Duck or Santa Claus on their ballot.

This election, they simply had to tick the Kanye West box to make the same statement.
