Kanye has been running an unconventional campaign in preparation for November's presidential election, and so far he has only managed to get on the ballot in eight states. Kanye's response comes after Ohio's Democratic Party state secretary Frank LaRose vetoed the nearly 15,000 signature petitions and other election paperwork submitted by West, citing a mismatch in the document information. The lawsuit was filed against LaRose on Wednesday, August 26, alleging that the other party was doing everything possible to prevent him from participating in the presidential election. Kanye's campaign attorney claims LaRose is obligated to accept any petition for an independent candidate as long as there are no protests against it and it doesn't violate state law.

Ohio has always been a traditional battleground state in the US election, but Trump easily defeated Hillary Clinton in Ohio in the 2016 election. Kanye has already missed out on votes in a number of key states, including his home state of Illinois and adopted state of Wyoming, with Wisconsin still swinging. In California, Florida and Pennsylvania, he either missed the deadline to submit his registration or was turned away. But Kanye's name will appear on the ballot in Arkansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Utah and Vermont. Before announcing his candidacy last month, Kanye West had been a staunch supporter of current US President Donald Trump. The Trump administration and party operatives have been accused of helping Kanye infiltrate the election in an effort to lure young black voters away from his Democratic rival, former Vice President Joe Biden, amid speculation that Kanye did not Shikou denied. Kanye's campaign was like a farce from the beginning. His unscrupulous remarks and self-reported family scandals in public forced his wife, Kim Kardashian, to come forward and accuse him of his bipolar disorder. Use it as a reason to gain sympathy from the public.
