He has Republicans helping him out.
A fresh look from @PostRoz and @jdawsey1 at how Republican operatives are trying to get Kanye on the ballot.

The unspoken side of this: Where’s the organic demand for a Kanye campaign? https://t.co/hLWlNiivaK
Kanye West's candidacy is so clearly part of the president*’s re-election campaign that it should fool nobody. https://t.co/jxbOw8qF7K

So you’re telling me that the Republican Party is using a black man’s labor, to meet their own goals, because they don’t want to do the work. We are all so shocked.

Lane Ruhland, the Wisconsin lawyer who dropped off Kanye West's presidential filing at the Wisconsin Board of Elections represented Donald Trump's presidential campaign exactly one week before in federal court pic.twitter.com/RHajkRDiMO

Scoop! A well-connected GOP strategist is helping Kanye West get on the ballot in Wisconsin.

to recap Kanye's ballot efforts…
— Jesse Lehrich (@JesseLehrich) August 5, 2020
– WISCONSIN: ballots submitted by *Trump campaign attorney*; electors are GOP activists
– ARKANSAS: point of contact was nearly Trump's campaign manager
– VERMONT: elector is Trump delegate; wife is Trump appointee
Usually a lawyer could not represent two different candidates in the same race, unless both candidates waived the conflict to allow it. Would sure like to know if that happened here. https://t.co/RLJpPtrQrS

It looks like Kanye West may have filed his ballot petitions in Wisconsin roughly 2 minutes after the filing deadline closed. This will likely end up in court. https://t.co/VqAM5VACQ0

And what exactly does the GOP think they are going to gain by doing this? The Trump campaign taking advantage of a man whose wife says he “is suffering from mental illness” is such a pathetic act of desperation; and yet to be expected. #moretocomehttps://t.co/b8OqheyaZM

"Republicans are obviously pinning their hopes on Kanye West to siphon off enough votes to squeeze Donald Trump through."

.@Chrislhayes explains how the Republican party could benefit from Kanye West's candidacy: https://t.co/btGbfcm2q0
We’ve gone way beyond wearing a hat and having an opinion. He’s trying to take away Biden votes. This is insane. https://t.co/Fw9yffCbBT

Hm… sounds right, but I should travel there for at least a week to make sure. https://t.co/CRoBorHYOi

As spoiler strategies go I feel like "I'm Ralph Nader, and I want you to vote for me and this agenda" is more effective than "I'm literally running to re-elect Trump, please step onto this part of the floor and ignore the button I'm about to push." https://t.co/JCqbhPiIex

“After combing through two challenges to Kanye West’s nomination signatures at the behest of The Lincoln Project… two conclusions: not only should Kanye be kept off the ballot, but law enforcement should investigate and prosecute several individuals involved in the effort.“ https://t.co/JsODCZBLX7

The #KanyeConJob is illegal and likely organized by the Trump campaign.

This feeble attempt at rigging the election won’t work and shows that Trump knows a reckoning in November is imminent. https://t.co/i9qKRK1tix
Kanye West will also not be permitted on the New Jersey ballot due to faulty signatures. His ‘campaign’ withdraws petition. https://t.co/HoIgwv9XnA #KanyeWest #Election2020

Rapper #KanyeWest indicates that his spoiler campaign is indeed designed to hurt @JoeBiden in @Forbes exclusive.

We must also mention he’s battling severe bipolar disorder, is off his meds & is in a manic state according to his wife @KimKardashian.
