Kanye West Ohio Ballot Access Lawsuit is Pending in Ohio Supreme Court

Although many of Kanye West’s ballot access petitions around the country have been rejected, only in Ohio has he brought a lawsuit to get back on the ballot. His lawsuit was filed in the Ohio Supreme Court on August 26. Here is the Complaint.

The Secretary of State had rejected the petition because the copy of the declaration of candidacy on each petition sheet differs slightly from the original. The declaration of candidacy on the petitions has the names of a committee on vacancies. Also the signature of the vice-presidential nominee, Michelle Tidball, doesn’t look the same on both documents.

An Ohio voter, Lewis Goldfarb, has asked to intervene in the case. He says there are other flaws in the West petition that the Secretary of State has not named. For example, he says that Kanye West does not actually reside at the address that he listed as his address. The Ohio Supreme Court has asked both sides whether they feel Goldbarb should be allowed to intervene.
