As noted before, the Virginia State Board of Elections put Kanye West on the ballot as an independent presidential candidate, but then some of his presidential elector candidates filed a lawsuit in state court, charging that they did not intend to become candidates for him for presidential elector. The lawsuit is against the State Board of Elections.

Kanye West has intervened in the case, and he is asking that the Attorney General of Virginia be recused from defending the State Board of Elections, because the Attorney General has made public comments that suggest he really doesn’t agree that West should have been put on the ballot.
