The Kentucky petition deadline for independent presidential candidates, and the presidential nominees of unqualified parties, was September 4. According to the Kentucky Secretary of State’s website, only two petitions were submitted, for Brock Pierce and Kanye West. The requirement is 5,000. New stories say that West submitted 19,000 signatutes.
Kentucky qualified parties are Republican, Democratic, and Libertarian. Thanks to Thomas Jones for this news.
19,000 to meet a 5,000 requirement is INSANITY.
Considering how poorly some of his previous petition drives went, it’s a bit low if you ask me.
