On August 28, the Virginia Board of Elections said that Kanye West’s independent presidential petition is valid. Although last month a U.S. District Court had lowered the requirement due to the health crisis from 5,000 signatures to 2,500 signatures, that order only included the four plaintiff minor parties. Kanye West could have filed a separate lawsuit to benefit from the 2,500 figure, but he did not. Instead he collected 5,000 valid signatures. Thanks to Mark Seidenberg for this news.

Read that as Kanye’s West Virginia haha
This could have been the most expensive petition drive in the history of Virginia.
Me too. Richard, you freaked me out!
Thanks, I re-wrote the title to avoid that West…Virginia problem.
Well done Kanye! I hope that he wins at least 100 electoral votes. Brock Pierce also seems to have similar electoral votes. I wonder who at the end will have more electoral votes out of the two.
Charles, I betcha they finished tied in the electoral college. Along with Jorgensen, Hawkins, you and me.
And just like that, Kanye is being sued by one of the people listed as an elector (who apparently was done so without their consent).
Actually Brian there is a chance that one of the candidates that you mentioned gets an electorate college vote from a faithless elector. Anyway the goal is for third to have an impact on the election rather then winning the Presidential vote which under current circumstances is impossible.
Great.
