This news story about minor party and independent candidate filing in Illinois reveals that Kanye West’s petition had 4,120 signatures. The requirement is 2,500.
So he would need a validity rate of about 60%, or slightly higher, to survive a challenge.
I wonder if the story was wrong. You or someone else on a prior post yesterday said 412 pages. Each page has 10 lines. It is unlikely they had all 10 lines filled and 0 crossoffs on every single page.
I wonder if the story in the link is wrong I mean.
The story says “According to some sources, 3178 signatures appear to have been accepted from West’s 4120 that were turned in. ” Someone can correct me if I am wrong but they wouldn’t have validated them this quickly, or possibly even at all if there is no challenge filed. So putting that together with the other report I saw – I think in comments here but I could be wrong – what I think actually happened is he submitted 3178 signatures on 412 sheets that had room for 4120 signatures if every line was used.
If this is correct, he would actually need 78.67% of the signatures to be deemed valid if there is an objection, not 60%. 79% validity overall on a petition is hard to get, and 60% is far from automatic either. So like Blankenship and some or all of the others his best chance to actually be on the ballot is if no one bothers to file an objection. I don’t know what the chances of someone filing one are but there’s a link to watch the objections as they come in in the comments on one of the other posts here.
@PDR, maybe Kim KW will file an objection. Somebody needs to, with Kanye now going even more fullblown manic and saying he wants to divorce her.
He claims she is trying to have him mentally detained. IDK if true. As far as I know the objections have to come from IL residents and/or voters but I could be wrong.
With 14 requests and counting to look at his petitions (I’ve never seen that many requests before), he’s almost certainly going to get hit with an objection. https://www.elections.il.gov/ElectionOperations/CandidateDetailEO.aspx?CandidateID=UGmnJzfbdzV3DiVu1UB10g%3d%3d&ElectionID=8R2QDecwarI%3d&T=637310325900948608
Must be a coordinated effort. Blankenship, Carroll, and Kopitke each have one (1) review request, but each from different people. They, in turn, have each piled on to Kanye West’s petitions. What dogs do they have in the hunt?
Typical troll mixing of apples and oranges — to make a troll junk mix.
NUTCASE FELON OJ Simpson = NUTCASE FELON KW ??? Time will tell.
Will the BAN MORON Trolls go to work for the senile statists Biden/Trump —

Note also the WHITE NUTCASE killer felons —
Kaiser Bill, Lenin, Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler — killers of millions.
Now he’s racist against white people. Richard, Demo Rep needs to go.
Him and his wife are interesting 🧐 people.and if wants to run for president why not this is America, he was born here and if he has the money why not. Everyone claims they hate Trump, Biden is a joke,and now no hell no Kanye. So who!? Jeez people just want to argue 😈
Well looks like him and his wife are separating. He currently lives in Wyoming. Hope he doesn’t drop out the race. I don’t want him to win but it would be great if he can help shake up the system. By the way in a recent interview he mentioned that he asked another presidential candidate, Jade Simmons if she wanted to his VP candidate. Unfortunately the article did not state her response. Perhaps she wasn’t interested. If that is the case then too bad as she is highly articulate.
How soon before Taylor Swift files her objection? https://www.showbiz411.com/2020/07/23/taylor-swift-is-dropping-a-surprise-album-tonight-called-folklore-which-ironically-will-knock-kanye-west-off-the-headlines
Is Miss Swift an Illinois voter?
