On September 8, 2020, the Arizona Supreme Court issued a brief order in West v Clayton, cv-20-0249, keeping independent presidential candidate Kanye West off the November 2020 ballot. It said it would explain later why it did that. But eight months has now passed and still the court has not issued its explanation.

The Arizona 2020 Kanye West petition easily gathered more signatures than any other candidate or political party petition in any state in 2020. West allegedly spent $1,000,000 on the petition, and obtained over 70,000 signatures. The signatures were never checked, but they were probably valid, because the requirement was 40,670 signatures.

At least four lawsuits have been filed in U.S. District Court against Georgia Senate Bill 202:

1. The New Georgia Project v Raffensperger, n.d., 1:21cv-1229.
2. Sixth District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church v Kemp, n.d., 1:21cv-1284.
3. Georgia State Conference of NAACP v Raffensperger, n.d., 1:21cv-1390.
4. Vote America v Raffensperger, n.d., 1:21cv-1390.

The last one was filed on April 7. Here is the Complaint.

On April 7, the Idaho House passed SB 1110. It changes the petition requirement for statewide initiatives. Under the bill, an initiative would need to gather the signatures of 6% of the voters in all 35 legislative districts. There has never before been any state that required an initiative petition to get a substantial number of signatures in all legislative districts.

Of course it is conceivable that Governor Brad Little could veto the bill.
